[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 680865, member: 6705"] Yup, I will chime in on the don't wash it in the washer till the gas is gone! Gasoline itself is odorless. They add a smelly compound so people notice it. ALSO, it is the FUMES from the gasoline that are explosive/flammable, not the gasoline itself. Bill has done similar when working on cars, here's what I do. Vinegar for the whole thing. I would soak for at least a day. Rub baking soda into obvious stains - it will foam up with the vinegar. Then HAND wash in COLD (bathtub or sink or whatever) with Woolite. Air dry. Use your nose and fingers to determine - if the smell is gone and there is NO oily residue, you're good to go. But check carefully. A caveat... Bill usually wears his coveralls, so I don't run them through the dryer, ever... [/QUOTE]
