I was taking the gas to a stranded friend and it spilled partially, not all of it. It is a 2006 Mercedes Benz and the fumes are pretty strong int he cab. Any suggestions to get the smell out. I took the thing off and washed it in a car wash but the smell still there.

That's a tough smell to get rid of. You probably need to remove the cover from the trunk, and let it air out a few weeks. I know of no chemical to treat it to get rid of the smell, once spilled. You could try alcohol, but that may raise the color out of the carpet. Time is usually the best solution to this problem, let it air out and dissipate over time. Sorry I have nothing better.

Three words: planted nano tank. With the right equipment and proper care you could have a mini jungle going on your desk, on a table, anywhere! Definitely would be an eye catcher! Putting fish in a 2.5 gallon tank is a death sentence, so don't do it. Plants are much better suited, and if they grow too big just prune them! A little green in a tank really catches the eye.

I'd try taking it to a self-serve car wash and soaking it with the engine degreaser they offer. Let it sit for a while, then switch to the high pressure soap setting. You may have to repeat this a few times but the smell will eventually come out of the carpet.
Good luck

Leave it outside in the sun for a day or two. Smell will disappear.

Try baking soda. Sprinkle it on and vacume it off in an hour or so.

Baking Soda. If you want, get the scented kind too.
