Default Diesel fuel smell on clothes

here should know the answer.

I got some sort of smell on my clothes that I believe is diesel fuel,
grease, or oil. I'm thinking that it must be diesel fuel but I can't be
certain. I've already washed the clothes as I normally would but the
smell won't come out. There doesn't seem to be any stains from whatever
is causing the odor. Any ideas on how to get this horrible smell out of
my clothes?


I used to work with diesel. Don't wash it with any other clothes you
want to keep. I never fully got the smell out of my work clothes. Once
a work shirt, always a work shirt. I used normal laundry soap and
baking soda. Cut down the smell somewhat but not all the way.
