Can't get rid of gas smell after spill

I spilled 2 gallons of gas in the bed of my truck a couple days ago. Taken it to the car wash and scrubbed it down twice and the smell is less but still pretty awful. I have a camper shell on it so the gas smell just kinda stays there. I opened the side windows on my shell to air it out, seems like its helping. Any tips on how to make it go away faster?

 

Some kind of orange degreaser or maybe Dawn dishwashing detergent might work.

 

a match ?

 

Or you can try this?

 

Lol, i'd try the soap I mentioned earlier first.

 

LOL what do you think I drive? A Ranger?

I got to work, checked back in on my thread and.... Orange degreaser. LOL we keep citrus solvent by the 5-gallon bucket around work. That'll work.

 

You could try Tide detergent like they used to clean the racetrack at Daytona after the Jet Dryer fire accident. It cleaned up the spilled jet fuel pretty well. Don't know how it did with the smell though.

 

If it cleaned up the fuel, it took care of the smell. The only reason it would still smell is if there was still fuel present.

Tide might work, but Surf is built for grease, we use it to clean oil field clothing. Good idea.

 

Oh no, I'm serious. If it was a Ranger I'd be barbecuing over its remains.

 

HAHAHAHA, that is too funny. Good luck with your spill odors.

 

Take a large fan and attach it to one of the windows blowing IN. cover up the rest of the window with paper, cardboard, etc. Open the other window. close the tailgate, turn on the fan, and leave it over night. Do not use a fan to suck air out as the small sparks in the motor have a small chance to ignite flammable vapors. If you have carpet or upholstery you can wash this with powered laundry detergent and a pressure washer with the nozzle on a wide fan setting.
