Plastic that Smells Like Gasoline

I have a plastic race car bed that sat out in the shed for about a year and it now smells like gasoline. I have tried freebreeze, and dawn dishwashing soap but cannot get rid of the smell even after 4 months. What can I use to get rid of it?

If it is plastic you can try washing it in vinegar or lemon water then leaving it outside in a few good hard rains... The acids in teh rain will clean most anything

Try scrubbing with a paste of vinegar and washing soda. Washing soda can be found in the laundry section of your grocery store. It is different than baking soda.
