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?


Not much you can do after they've already been washed. Next time, rub
a liberal amount of creme style hand cleaner on the clothes, roll them
in a ball & let them set overnight, then wash as normal. The hand
cleaner will dissolve most petroleum products.
