Title: The smell of Diesel
Post by: holtender on 17 October 2011, 19:36:05: Anyone got any suggestions of how to remove smell?

I was filling up my Escort van saturday , got distracted and a large splash of deisel covered my jeans.

The problem is the smell of deisel is still very strong on the jeans even after being washed two times.

There must be some substance that is friendly to Levis but deadly to diesel on the market.

Stop looking at females at the next pump ;)
