I spilled about three gallons of gasoline in the back and have use a steam vac and a whole lot of fabreeze and it still smells like gas. Any good ideas out there.

Id say take the carpet out and deal with it that way. There is so much padding under that carpet its not funny. My drivers door leaked one time, I had to leave it pulled up for 3 days just so it could dry out.

I wouldn't be surprsised if the gasoline ate the padding underneath.

Petroleum products have a nack for disolving things.

I would pull it up ASAP and make dang sure you got every drop of it, or at least to give any trapped pockets of gasoline a chance to evaporate.

Believe me, liquids under your carpet dont go away unless you tell them to. Even then they are stubborn.

I would also recommend calling a local carpet store and ask them about removing the smell from gasoline stained fabric.

Good luck.


Hope you dont smoke... :shock:
