Need advice on removing gas fumes.

[Coolslice]

This is a strange question, but I need some advice.



I have a houseboat, and the gas tank which is in the hull has leaked gas into the hull. There was not much gas in the tank, and there is no liquid gas in the hull now. I know, I know, sounds dangerous, but I have kept the hull open and vented out, but the gas smell will not go away even though the gas has dried up. Is there anything I can put on this spot to neutralize the smell. . The fumes are coming up into the back bedrooms and I have a party coming up on it. Any advice other than "NO SMOKING" :-laf would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

put a couple of boxes of baking soda into the hull area. (open boxes)

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I'll give it a try, thanks.

I use 3M Odor Free Brake Cleaner at work for such spills. . It will dry out the remaining oil, though a little costly per bottle. The smell is strong when using it, but it does dry up with no odor left behind. .



I was also going to say try baking soda as well... .

Charcoal (yes, the barbeque stuff) will help too, just put it in open containers in the area. bg
