I am washing clothes for some fuelers in the field and I have no idea how to wash these ACUs with fuel in them. Any ideas?

LOL I dont think a stain stick will work. I think these ACUs are SOAKED in fuel! *sigh*

Fuel destroys ACUs...you should probably keep those as your work ACUs and get new good ones.
You might try stain stick, though...it gets out shoe polish - I guess it might get fuel out too. (For some reason the stick works but the same-brand spray doesn't. I don't know why.)

I was an auto-tech before I joined the military. My uniforms would get gas, diesel, oil, and many other chemical liquids on them. I had a grease-cutting soap I would pour in with the laundry and detergent when I would wash them, and they came out clean. I also had company uniforms, not ACUs, so I don't know if the fabric makes a difference. The soap wasn't sudsy, so don't try to put Dawn soap in your washer(unless you want a suds party). You might be able to pre-wash them in a sink of water and Dawn soap before putting them in the washer.
