I spilled a fairly large amount of a gasoline additive on the floor

The additive smells like a mix of oil and gasoline.

Does the odor ever go away on its own? Or is there something that I
might use to get it out?


That is a tough one to get out. If you are serous about getting it out,
I suggest a car detailing shop or a carpet cleaning place.

If you want to try it yourself there are a number of possibilities. I
would suggest trying to get as much soaked up as possible using paper towels
or rags. Get most of it up then put some more down on it and weight it down
with some heavy weight over night. Repeat until it does not seem to pick up
any more. You can also try kitty litter. Give it time to do it's stuff.
Then it is carpet cleaning stuff, like the spay can stuff, follow the
instructions on the can.

Make sure you work not just with the carpet, but the pad under the
carpet as well.

Good Luck
