[v12-engine] Fuel Smell

Lately, we (my wife especially) have noticed a fuel smell in the cabin but
only when the sunroof is open. Yet there is no odour in the engine
compartment.

Has anyone else had this problem? What might be causing it?

The sun roof motor is in the boot, along with the sun roof water drain
channels, as I recall. So is the fuel pump / filter.

I’d check the boot for fuel leaks.
