Mehran's primary fuel filter is located at the rear right side beneath the passenger seat....There might be a possibility that the fuel evaporates from that place due to loose pipe.

Secondly check all the fuel lines for any sort of leakage.....

first check all fuel pipes & filter etc. @testdrive is right

Do the above mentioned check as mentioned by my fellow members and note that fuel evaporates and dries up very fast for it to be noticiable unless leak is bigger and continious.

As for the reason you do not smell fuel after certain amount of minutes due to inhaling and it becoming harder to recognize for you.

So check for leaks and make sure you do not have the idle on rich.
