Gas Smell?

[solarsrt4tn]

I had a gas can in the trunk and had to slam on the brakes and about 2 gallons of gas poured in my trunk and under my backseat . I removed the back seat and all the trunk linings and pressure washed them but the smell is still in the car. Is there any faster way than letting the car air out for days to get rid of the smell?

No one has any ideas?

probably replace the seats and trunk lining. and i think your going to just have to let it out for awhile...

I dont know how well this will work for gas smell but I do know it takes out cigarette smoke which is normally pretty hard to get rid of. Buy some bounce sheets and duct tape them to your air vents and turn the heater on high for about 20 mins. I like the smell of dryer sheets compared to gas so I guess it would be the lesser of two evils!
