Question Gasoline smell remover: spilled on carpet

I spilled some gas on the carpet of 1999 ML320 removing fuel pump. Used Fabreeze but could not completely rid vehicle of smell.

What other products might do the trick?

You will need something with a detergent in it to remove hydrocarbons like gasoline. I know Formula 409 removes motor oil from clothing, might want to try that.

Spray Prosolve Carpet Cleaner on area let set for an hour and vacuum out with shop vac. If you cannot find Prosolve take 1/2 cup of Tide and mix with 1/2 cup water and 1/3 cup alcohol (rubbing). Scrub in with brush - set - vacuum out.

Just the rubbing alcohol. Dump or spray it on, let it air out.

Time. I had it happen to one of my cars on the interior. After a while - one or two weeks - the smell was completely gone.

Spilled some in my trunk. Cleaned it well, and tried baking soda. What really helped was covering the spill with fresh coffee grounds. Left it in place for a day or so and vacumed it away. Had to do it twice and it really helped & it smelled good at the same time.

What do you mean by fresh coffee grounds? Do you mean the stuff that's left over after you make coffee, or the stuff you use to make coffee (like fresh from the grocery store)?
