CANBERRA, Australia - Australia is fighting rampant gasoline-sniffing in the Outback by extending the availability of a less harmful fuel as part of a major campaign to improve Aborigines' health, the prime minister said Wednesday.
Opal, a government-subsidized gasoline modified by BP Australia to remove most of the chemicals that create the euphoria that sniffers seek, has been introduced since 2006 to 108 gas stations servicing Outback Aboriginal communities as a safer alternative to unleaded gas.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard told Parliament that Opal would be rolled out to another 39 stations servicing 9,000 people across the northern Outback by 2013.
"Opal fuel has delivered a 70 per cent reduction in petrol sniffing across communities with improved health outcomes, family function and community safety," Gillard said.
Gillard announced the initiative as part of the government's third annual report on what is being done to close the decade gap in life expectancy between Aborigines and other Australians by 2031.
Australia's 500,000 Aborigines account for only 2.5 per cent of the population and are the nation's poorest and least healthy ethnic group.
Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd promised in 2008 to close the gaps between indigenous and other Australians in health, education and job opportunities when he offered Aborigines a historic apology for more than 200 years of past injustices.
Gillard's report showed minor improvements in some measures of Aboriginal disadvantage, including in the death rate of indigenous children under 5 years old, which remains twice that of other Australian children.

Re: Heavy Petrol smell...
sounds like u got a leak in the feeding pipe or whatever they call it.
try to monitor your petrol level for the next few days or perhaps u can start your engine and shine a light in it to see where the leakage is.
worse come to worst. go to a workshop, raise up the car and let the mechanic have a better look

Re: Heavy Petrol smell...
Mine just collected my E60 (2007yrs model) yesterday.
After parking, i could smell strong petrol outside the left passanger door area.
This morning when i opened up the boot i could also smell it but not that strong.
Carried out undercarriage check with a torchlight and found no leakage or watever.
Am quite worry cos it my first time owned a conti car.
Any advise folks?
Cheers

Re: Heavy Petrol smell...
If its really the o ring - might as well replace the fuel filter etc along the way. Go in with quarter tank or less of petrol if possible. Check part availability first before going - o ring assembly has other parts you would need replacing else problem might persist.
