yeah so i go and help a friend who ran out of gas last night and i out the can with and open tank filler tip on top..... i had to brake pretty hard for something and needless to say the can came tumbling up from the back and wedged between the passenger seat and the floor behind it upside down!!! now the carpet reakes like u wouldnt believe, o and it ate through some deadening to. i was wondering if this has happened to anybody and if so how the hell can i get the smell out???? and anybody know if i can fit CTR carpet in my DC...... Thanks

 

if its not raining like it is over here, dry up any gas spilt onto anything important (if it hasn't already evaporated), upen your doors, lift the hatch, and just let it air out for a few hours. gas evaporates quickly and if your lucky the smell will just die on its own, if not, let the car air out, make sure its dry and use a spray chemical such as febreeze that breaks down odor and doesn't cover it up.

 

wow, i hope you don't smoke. i would say the same. let it sit for a while. i had a friend that bought a used car and it stunk real bad, he let it in his garage for a couple days with the window's down and just left it alone, and the smell went away.

 

eeesh, my brain hurts from reading the OP's seemingly run-on sentences. just let it air out... which will days several days. while you drive it, i'm sure you will lose brain cells as i'm sure i did when i stripped my car, sold the fuel pump, pumped out as much gas as i could and had to wait for rest of the gas to evaporate and, therefore, subsequently inhaled fumes when i went in and out of the garage life is a pain, sometimes, isn't it? ...you may just opt to take out the seats and the carpet, itself, spray/wash it down, and dry up the metal underneath over a day or two.

 

with a gas smell ur pretty much screwed.. i work at a detail shop and ive seen it alot. we have an ozone machince that helps a little bit, but mostly it just takes alot of time for the smell to go away.

 

You could rent a shampoo cleaner and vacuum your whole interrior with it. It would probably help with getting rid of the smell.

you have to shampoo it 10x and it still will stink, airing it out+ozone machine is ur best bet

 

go to a junk yard or the market place and get new carpet.
