Purported eyewitness account from passenger on Chinese airliner
Very long, here's the relevant parts:
On March 7, the airplane was scheduled to depart at 10:30am. The airplane was delayed for about 10 minutes. At that time, everybody was on board, so we must be waiting for the permission to take off. The flight was normal thereafter.

After flying for about an hour, a passenger said that there was the smell of gasoline. The attendant also smelled it because it was too strong.
