    Micra fuel tank leak

    At ambient temperature and pressure it's a gas. So it naturally reverts to gas from liquid. The gas has a larger volume than the liquid state. This creates the pressure for it to escape from a container.

    Micra fuel tank leak

    To evaporate, a substance must be highly energetic or it will never lift off. To prevent lift off, you must use a container that can resist the lift off pressure. It can be hard for you to understand if you never did your o'level physics. See this for a visualisation of the process:

    Micra fuel tank leak

    The micra owner confirmed being unaware of the requirement to click the fuel cap. So, the most probable cause of the lost petrol was user error. Although, an air leak caused by light corrosion remain possible.
