Air Condition Situation

Every time I turn my heat on it smells like diesel fuel, its not super strong but you can definitely smell it. Also, the fan doesn't blow as hard as it used to, even at max. Is it my cabin filter? Would that affect the strength of the air also?

First thing is to replace the cabin air filter and probably clean out the little drain holes running out of the airbox ( i think it is called water outlet valve) on both sides. My cabin smelled like crap until i cleaned out the drain holes and replaced the cabin air filter. I say do that first before going further.. As far as the fan not blowing hard, not sure the filter would affect the strenght of the fan or air coming into the cabin..

The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump. Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - It feels fantastic.. it's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. -> "Arnuld - (c. 1977)"

Could be the blower motor or one of the diverter doors under the dash not shutting or opening fully.
