How do I get the diesel smell out?

While working on the Benz I got my clothes saturated with diesel. The wife tried to wash them and now can't get the smell out of the washer. Needless to say she's not happy. What will get the diesel smell out?
Any help greatly appreciated. JEFF

the wife adds a can of Coke (old oil field trick) when she washes stuff with fuel or grease on it, gets the grease out and the washer clean. After 26 years of putting up with diesel soaked clothes she says it still works the best overall. Baking soda is good too. Good luck!
