Hi we have a 1.8 corsa utility. The car smells strong of fuel inside. The engine light is on permanently and the radiator fan is running non stop. The heat gauge is also not working properly. Please give me some advice.

As far as the fan, you may have a faulty sensor that is causing both the gauge to not read properly and the fan to run all the time. I would start there.

If the check engine light is on, you should have the computer scanned to see if there are trouble codes. You shouldn't be getting a fuel smell in the vehicle unless there is a leak or a couple other things. Does the engine run?
