Am I being overly sensitive here? The main thing is - it was NOT as serious incident in any way
[sic]

The petrol leaked from the fuel tank of their generator (probably) because of the pressure difference and vibration might have eased the lid.

Irrespective of quantity, petrol (as most folk know) is highly volatile and vaporises readily. Therefore, it would have been able to circulate freely throughout the air conditioning equipment of the aircraft and permeate the air in all corners of the cabin.

"NOT a serious incident in any way."

I disagree.
