I've forgotten to tell that there isn't any longer any smell of petrol inside or outside. The seal was the culprit as my mechanic told me, and he did a brilliant job because actually there were two seals, one on the left and one on the right, both under the rear seat, and he changed the right defective one. Phew!
May I guess that somebody changed the floating petrol pump but omitted to change the seal or didn't put it correctly? Otherwise why that seal deteriorated when all the rest is working fine? I hope the pump may still last a good while...
