Well I would throw a match into the trunk... but thats just me. I used scented baking powder to get rid of a smell in my car and that worked fine.

let the car air out??? Windows down.. etc etc..

If it doesnt work contact Swoosh in Oakville and ask them about removing the smell.

go to Pet Value and get a bottle of NOKOUT spray. This neutralizes pretty much any odours. My GF's car had a nasty mold smell in it. I took it to a detail shop and they made it ing worse, so I did some research and found out about this odour neutralizer and the really works. I sprayed it on the carpets in the front and let it soak in and dry up. The mold smell completely disappeared after a day or two.

The car will smell like clean bleached laundry for while (depending on how much of the stuff you use). I used the entire spray bottle on the front carpets. It's about $12 for a spray bottle.

ya, try an organic smell remover, theyre known to work really really well. But i think for gas smell the best thing is to baking soda it, let it air out and maybe get some air freshners in the car.

i rented a rug cleaner and it worked really well the baking soda did a little bit of a difference
