Gasoline Spill Clean Up
Some dope.. (That would be me) managed to not secure a gas can in the back of his SUV. The resulting tip over and spill of about 1/2 gallon of gas has the car almost impossible to drive due to the fumes.
It's been a week and I've tried a bunch of fixes. Apple cider vinegar, Oust, Zorb.. etc. Has anyone had a similar situation and managed to remove the smell short of ripping out the carpeting and replacing it? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Gas fumes
Sorry to hear you had the accident Steve
You not only have the carpet soaked in gas but you have a insulation pad below the carpet soaked. I would suggest removing the carpet, which will probably involve removing the seats and bring the carpet to the local self service car wash for a high pressure wash and rinse. You have a time bomb lurking in your car with the gas. Be careful gas fumes are nothing to play with. Good luck and be safe. Charlie |
