I didn't tighten the lid properly on a 'Jerry can of diesel' in my Golf and the liner 'pen and inks'.

Any magically cures its worse than milk!.

At least its not one of my BM's.

Gaz ,

At least the back end won't rot !! :eek: :eek: for a while.

Only thing i can think of that i used to remove diesel was "jizer" . Its good stuff but you need to wash it off with water.

Just spoke to a mate of mine who has a canal barge and i remember him spilling diesel on some carpets in his boat. He used this and said it actually worked , not sure how many £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£ it is but might be worth giving it a try.

Would it not be quicker & easier to get a replacement boot carpet from a scrap yard?
