Transfer tank nozzle exploded diesel all over my Carhart jacket and canvas snowmobile bibs. I have already washed them in Tide - Fail Washed then with Purple Power grease remover and Tide - Fail Any other tips, they really really smell like fuel?? Matt
A gallon of brake cleaner might do it but you might want to take it to a dry cleaners.
Try soaking them in a 50/50 mix of purple power and water. I my laundry tub and let them soak for about 3-4 days. By a couple of days you will see a pink film start to float on top of the water.
What i use is Dawn, about a cup in hot water wash, and use the washcycle 2 times before rise. sam.
I second the dawn, I usually just rub it in.
i have to agree with the dawn its great with HOT water. have used it for years,theres even a bottle in the shower
Try a good big handfull of a cream type handcleaner in really hot water in a washing machine. Helps to really rub the hand cleaner in and let it sit for a while first. Regards D.D.
dawnshould work well. I ve used a product called Oxyclean with the tide or what ever. Works well for me. Good luck.
Diesel is the cologne of choice for real men, wear it with pride. http://www.amazon.com/Diesel-Brave-Toilette-Spray-2-5-Ounce/dp/B00266YYH6
I used simple green, left soak in a pall for two days,
You can drop gasoline on the Diesel, It will be helpful. After that you can wash it with laundry detergents again to remove the smell of gasoline.
used to use a product called ozium it was amazing on aviation fule and vomit smells wish i could find it now.
VOMIT?????? What the hell???????
a lot of peaple get air sick in smalll aircraft as the turbulence is more noticable than in an airliner.
After a lot of reading and your suggestions I was able to remove the diesel (or I believe I did) from the coat. A homemade brew of: Ajax Purple power Tide Baking soda Ginger ale The pants still smell, but I didnt hammer them as much as I did the coat Pinesol seems to be mentioned on other sites a lot, I just didn't have any or I would have added it too
