Step 1.
Remove as much gasoline as possible with a dull knife or spoon.
Stain Removal Step 2.
Blot the remaining area with a clean cloth to absorb more gasoline.
Stain Removal Step 3.
Sprinkle the stain with baking soda to absorb any remaining gasoline.
Stain Removal Step 4.
Rub dishwashing liquid into the stain and allow to sit for two to five minutes. Soak for 30 minutes in hot water and dishwashing liquid.
Stain Removal Step 5.
If the stain remains, apply a thick baking soda/water paste to the stained area. Let the baking soda dry, and brush it off the stained area.
Stain Removal Step 6.
If traces of the stain remain, apply a stain remover stick, gel, or spray and let stand for 5 minutes.
Stain Removal Step 7.
Wash in the hottest fabric recommended for the fabric.
Hints For Tough Gasoline and Diesel Stains
If you've doused your clothing with gasoline, and the smell still remains after you've followed the steps above, here are a few more things to get the smell out.
1. Vinegar
Soak the clothing in a vinegar/water mixture for 30 minutes or longer.
2. Orange Cleaner
An orange cleaner added to the wash load can help break down the traces of gasoline and get rid of the smell. Look for an all-purpose cleaner derived from oranges, like OrangeGlo's Orange Clean All-Purpose cleaner or Fantastik Orange Action Cleaner. If you've doused a gallon of gasoline on thick denim jeans, you may need to use the whole bottle.

If the gas hasn't eaten holes in your shirt, some of the answers given will.
Take the shirt to a dry cleaner, tell them what is on it and let them clean it. That is what they are there for, have the products to do things like that and by the way, most woolen shirts are not machine washable and SHOULD be dry cleaned.
Hope this helps.
Happy New Year!

Buy some hand cleaner used by mechanics from a motor part shop and rub into stain, it will get rid of stain, but you have to wash it with normal washing powder and fabric softener to get rid of smell.

Take it to a dry cleaner and show them the stain. Tell them what it is, they can deal with it best.

Try smearing Goop on the stain and rubbing it in, then wash with Oxyclean. Works for almost everything! (Hang to dry)
