Long time idleing = weird smell

I have this experience on almost every SVX Ive owned.
If the car sits and idles for more then 5-10 min, while
standing along either side of the car I get a "Weird" odor.
Its not exhaust, gas or rotten egg smell. Its something I
cant place and have never smelled anywhere else and on
any other type of car.
Its almost a kerosene type smell.
Wonder if its the sound deadening material under the carpet
or something.
On the road trip to Reno a few months ago I dont remember
ever smelling it after long driving. It only seems to be apparent
while sitting still and idleing over time
