It is a common phenomenon on newer RB211 535E4 engines. I think it is to do with phase 2 combustion chambers in the engine that do not allow any unburnt fuel to drain away, but collect in a tank. How this now causes a smell in the cabin after start I don't know.
Ask on the Tech Log site, there is bound to be a clever clogs there.
