Removing Gasoline (Petrol) Smell from Clothing

When I fueled up my ATV on a snowy day I spilled gas on my outdoor pants. How can I get rid of the smell? I'm living in Norway, so please don't recommend a cleaning agent you only have in the US. I am looking for some household way. Please help.

Soak it in straight Coke overnight, then run through wash.
Yet another useful thing that Coke can be used for besides drinking it!

Surely a grocery store in Norway will sell one of these items to remove the gasoline smell.

To remove gas (petrol) smelling from clothing, soak overnight in baby oil (use as if you would like Downy), then wash in baking soda, then wash with normal detergent. It rid an entire basket of clothes of the "gas smell". Try it it works.

RE: Removing Gasoline (Petrol) Smell from Clothing

Do not put clothing in the dryer due to a fire until you know it's all out, and I just read that a little baby oil with the detergent and no other non-gas clothes washing them twice, and gets it out. (02/13/2009)
