Spilled gas

I borrowed my neighbors gas can. He forgot to tell me it has a small leak, now my truck smells like gas and I have tried: airing it out, auto febreeze, and carpet cleaner. It is still strong and I don't want to put any of the dogs in there. Any thing else I can try?

eewww... You've got to be careful- I would think you could run the risk of starting something on fire if the gas remains... I don't know what negates gas- maybe you could call a gas station and see what they use to cleanup spills? I wonder if that fluffy sawdust stuff janitors use works?

Good luck!

If the spot is dry then the gas has evaporated. Less potential to start a fire. If it's not dry then you'll need to absorb it with something disposable, like kitty litter, sawdust, papertowels. Once it's cleaned up, soap and hot water should help with the smell. Just remember that anything used to absorb gasoline will become flammable afterwords.
here, maybe you can find this at an auto store:

Ditto on the kitty litter. You don't have to put it right on the stain even. Put a couple of wash tubs of it in there and close the windows and doors. My friend used that method to get the old man smell out his vintage Cadillac that he bought--worked great!
The "old man smell" - I am cracking up! :clappurple:
Vic said to me the other day, "Hon, I feel so old." I said
"But you don't smell old, yet!" So of course this post really
made me laugh. Twisted sense of humor I guess!

The old man smell is one of the most persistent odors to kill too. I'd rather clean up gas or skunk!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
That is so funny.... just the other day I had made a comment that I thought it was "smelly old man day" at the mall....
I think I'll just lock this topic without comment...
:lol: REally..... why's that Ron? :twisted: :P :lol:
