I had a spare fuel can in my car boot which leaked in the recent hot weather. Fortunatley I had a rubber boot liner which caught most of it. Can anyone recommend a product for removing the smell of petrol. I have seen something called Zorbx but it is only available in the US.
Thanks
Thanks

If you leave windows and doors open to air I've found the smell fades quite quickly (all depends if you can expose all the surfaces!)
Remove your mats and leave them out in the sun for a bit as well. Give all the metal surfaces a polish with your favorite polish and change cloths regularly and smell should be gone *fingers crossed* though it worked for me!Tim0 -
I would give it a good wash out with some Stardrops or Starclens (the one with amonia in it) and then give everywhere a good spray with some Febreeze, then leave all windows open for a few hours and it should be fine.Jane
