Some gas was spilled on the back seat of my wife's new car.
We have a garage so i put a small room fan on it for 2 nights and i used some Febreze.
Also it is important to open the trunk.
We have a passage way so i left that open.
If no passage way you may want to open the trunk and leave the fan in the trunk running a night or 2.

I spilled a gallon of gas on my car carpet, try wetting it down, buy kitty litter apply to wet carpet let dry, vaccuum up, once should do it. kitty litter should have a charcol odor control to it

try doin' those things, and if happen that the smell is still there, u got no choice but to change your car seat. its a good idea anyway than to kill yourself smelling those gas. its not good for the health, remember... <a href=http://www.xanga.com/terryauto?next ... +21%3a29%3a5.407&direction=n>

Place a bar of soap under the seat. The soap will absorb the odor over night. I got egged once and nothing was working. I asked a kid at a used car lot how they dealt with odors, he told me about the soap. Since then many of my friends have eliminated a wide variety of odors with a bar of soap. I used Ivory as it doesn't have any perfume.
