Gasoline spill question.?

I had a gas can that leaked in the back of my carThe smell is awful and potentHow can I clean the gas and get rid of the smell? Anything would be helpfulFYI the gas is dryed into the interior of the car already.

Answer:

This is going to sound weird but it worked for me: Buy a gallon of white vinegar and pour it into several large grocery store aluminum foil pansIt's important that the pans be wide and longPlace one in each foot well and several in the trunkOf course you'll need to remove the pans of vinegar while driving but leave them in the car for a week or 10 days while it's standing stillIt helps to open all windows and trunk lid when the car is at your home or other safe place As for the red gas stains go to NAPA auto parts store and pick up a can of CRC Brakeleen Brake parts cleanerIt's main purpose is lifting grease and brake dust but I honestly just tried this and it removed a couple of grease spots on my floor carpets in my own carNow, gasoline is petroleum the same stuff grease and oil is made of a I'm sure this plan will workSpray on a terry cloth towel and rub the daylights out of the spill stainThe beauty of brake clean is it evaporates in a flash with no odor after 15 minutes.
