You just wash it in the washing machine, it will not come out the first time, but the smell will get less and less the more you wash it. Good luck

Usually ventilation alone will do it, but depends on the item. Some suggest a vinegar/water spray will neutralize, but haven't tried it myself.

The smell of mothballs can be difficult to get rid of but heating up the area for a few hours to release odors, then airing out the area is one way that can help. Cleaning the area with vinegar and baking soda and using charcoal to help absorb the smell are other ways to rid your home of the smell.

Would mothballs have an immediate effect on your fuel system and would it smell like mothballs when the engine is running...how can you tell if your tank has been spiked?

In a recent Mythbusters, it was determined to be "plausible" that mothballs can actually increase your car's mileage. If mothballs were placed in your gas tank, I suspect you would smell the scent mothballs as they dissolved and then burned. It doesn't sound like mothballs would "spike" your tank. How can you tell if your tank has been spiked? If you cannot tell, it probably doesn't matter.
