I was taking my gasoline container to the gas station in my car to get

Does anyone know of a faster way to get rid of this smell? Air
freshener doesn't help at all, it's more like a temporary remedy. Any
help would be much appreciated.

Saw an odor eliminator at Home Depot. Comes in a can about the size of a
can of car wax. When I had a fire in my house a couple of years ago,
Servepro gave me a similar product. Open the can and leave it in the
car. It should absorb the odor.

The problem is likely not with the back seat. Getting it
professionally cleaned won't solve it. The gasoline likely went
through the seat as in under it, under any carpet etc. Think like a
liquid and figure out where it might flow. You probably will need to
remove the back seat to get to it, which isn't that big of a deal. Or
wait a long time...
