How can I get rid of the gas smell in my minivan An open gas container was in the vehicle for about 20 minutes but no gas spilled. I've tried odor removing sprays but they don't touch it.?

Answer

There must have been some gas on the bottom of the container....even dried gas has the odour in a heated & humid environment. You will have to shampoo the area where the gas can was. Use a scented shampoo and make sure the area dries completely. After that you may want to go to one of those car washes that has the coin op vacuums & car scents. It will solve the problem. But, without shampooing, the scent will be there forever.

Baking soda and/or kitty litter in the spot where the can was.
