I managed to have about a quart of diesel fuel spill out in my trunk causing a huge smelly problem. I've already removed and cleaned the carpets and wiped down the trunk panels best I could, but the smell remains.

I've cleaned the trunk (minus carpet) again a few times trying various things like vinegar, baking soda paste, Fabreze, OxyClean, and Murphy's Oil soap. Seems as if each time, the smell dissipates for a few hours then returns.

Any ideas what I could use on this? The cabin doesn't really have the odor, but we do get the occasional whiff of diesel. (I'm actually okay with this...but...)
