    Hi All!



    I had a gas can leak in the back of my truck. Any suggestions for removing the gasoline smell??? The truck has a slide in bed liner. It also has a camper shell. I have washed the bed out several times and leave the windows and back open as much as possible but there is still a noticeable smell after everything has been closed up.



    Thanks.

    If you haven`t already (can`t quite tell from your post), pull the bedliner out and really scrup it (both sides in case it got through) and really clean the bed while it`s out. I`d use something on the bed itself (like AIO) to clean the paint and something beyond "regular cleaners" on the bedliner too. Maybe something like undiluted EFHI or a citrus based cleaner, and give it a long dwell time. It could be that the gas really soaked into the bedline material, so this might be something that`s gonna take time.



    Oh, and I`d pull the camper shell so things get sunlight and fresh air. Yeah, I know it`ll be a hassle, but I think it`ll help a lot.

    Thanks Accumulator. I have some Orange Blast I`ll try today and if that doesn`t do the trick then I`ll pull the liner and as last resort pull the shell.
