npgraphicdesign 3 #1 November 22, 2008 ...a car that still smells like gasoline...plus Febreeze... Had to take the leaf blower to the repair shop today. Checked to make sure that the gas/oil caps were closed, put it in my car, two minutes later I hear....plop...plop...plop...plop...plop...of course the bastard started leaking gas. So after getting to the repair shop I drove home, and decided to spray some Febreeze to get rid of the gas smell. Still smells like gas (even after parking it outside w/ open windows for a few hours) and now...FEBREEZE!!! AHHH!!! Any suggestions on getting the smell out?

LisaH 0 #2 November 22, 2008 Sprinkle some baking soda where the gas spilled, make a paste with water, wash and rinse. Should help. Be yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather be doing other things right now, but that's not an option right now. So I definitely won't put on my clothes to go outside into the freezing cold and de-smell my car.

Go sprinkle the baking soda now. Then go to bed. THEN deal with it in the morning. Trust us. We're girls. Girls give good advice. Honestly, sprinkle it now. If you have time on the computer, you have time to sprinkle. You'll thank us in the morning. 'Shell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shermanator 4 #11 November 22, 2008 take care of it as soon as you can. I spilled some deisel in my van 5 months ago, and I can still smell it. I keep meaning toget baking soda, but always forget when I go to the store. I did the febreeze thing too, didn't help any.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
