2013 F150 Bad Smell

Hi All...
My F150 developed a bad smell today. The only way I can describe it is it's a metallic electrical burning smell. Got so bad I had all four windows down in 25 degree weather. Only smells inside. No smell outside or under the hood. No leaks anywhere. Got worse the longer I drove it. Only thing I did was fill up the tank before it started to smell. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Done any electrical modifications recently? *Sounds as if you have an electrical short somewhere.

We have a 2012 at work that smells like hot melted crayons or some sort of candle wax... Not sure why but is VERY strong, and has been like that for 5 years at least, since I have worked for the place.
