Five gallons diesel spill in trunk

[Greg Phillips]

Several months ago, I didn`t tighten the cap on a five-gallon can of diesel I put in the trunk. Yes, I am an idiot. Anyway, I cleaned the trunk, and I had the trunk professionally cleaned. The overpowering odor remains. Not only that, but I recently realized that packages left on the back seat now become saturated with ....guess what...oil.



The seats are leather. Do I have any other options beside having the back seat re-upholstered? I could really use some advice. Since Katrina, I must commute seven hours twice a week between my job and my family.



Thanks, Greg

yah not really much you can do besides get new seats or redo them.

remove as much as your can, then ozone. When I removed my oil tank (275 gallon) from my home, I spilt about 5 gallons. Put ozone on it, gone in one day...Thank god! house stunk for 1 day....BAD



Problem is diesel (with red dye) /home heating fuel (without) is like crude oil..
