Where did the leaked fuel go?
Go to a local refuelling station. Take a deep breath. Then you’ll know.
But but... Refueling has been banned since 2010
from the official FIA decision.

The alleged “New Evidence” was derived from analysis of more than 100
channels of fuel system related data. It concludes that there was a fuel system
failure in Car 5. As a result of the loss of fuel cell pressure, the air pump in the
fuel cell activated a maximum output. By pumping air through the fuel cell, a
significant amount of fuel was inadvertently discharged from the fuel cell of Car
5. As a result of that, it was only possible to obtain a 0.3 litre sample of fuel,
significantly less than the volume that was expected to have remained. Failure
of the Fuel Cell Pressure relief valve to seal is the prime suspect but any leak
path from the fuel cell would have caused the loss of fuel pressure and resulted
in the loss of fuel.
