I'm just thinking maybe our car isn't sealed enough.. What I'm know about kancil or mira engine version L2-L5 has a breathing pipe close up with the cockpit areas, which is will come out with petrol smell.. This happen when if u change the original air filter to others or you didn't change the expired air filter...

What I'm know also.. all markets standard sealing rubber will last around 3-8 years depends on the conditions..

How bout your car DanzEterna..? How old your car & did u changed the original air filter?

bro, it could be coz by hardened fuel hose which located under the floor pan, loosed clamp, fuel tank oil seal harden..hope this will help u to rectify the probs

pakram, has been long time since i have not serviced my car hehe...
im using ori oil filter, i tot it could be the petrol fiter, might be clogged though..

turbojin,
yeah i also suspected that, or maybe there is a leak in the petrol hose.
will check it out though.

guys, found out the problem already,
few days ago when i was pumping petrol, i saw petrol dripping from below the rear left passenger side, (same side with the petrol cap), so i guess the hose flowing to the petrol tank has a puncture, after refilling petrol, the leaking stopped.
