Check your fuel lines for any leaks. Although, it sounds like it might be a faulty heater core to me. Leaky heater cores can give off an odor similar to gasoline. I would suggest having a mechanic or local Nissan dealer take a look at your heater core. If it does need replacing, it is usually a $500 job, but the fumes are not good for you (or your kids) and you can't put a price on that. Hope I helped. Please post your results and I will follow up.
