WinchesterDave Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Filling the courtesy car up to the max as that was their request, getting picked up tomorrow at 3. Went to station, pump clicked and I always do another few squirts to ensure it's full. Got in the car, digital dial saidnit wasn't full... so I thought I'd drive to see if it was a delay... it wasn't a delay it just didn't say it was full. Went to second petrol station and the pump says minimum 5 litres delivery (I didn't know that was for the tankers filling the pump up!!) The thing clicked off at 3 liters! So slowly started to fill it up at at 4.16L I felt something on my leg and it had completely over flowed on back of pants and now is on the seat... Help.

figgy Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Old towel and a bit of pressure should get the worst out then some febreeze to mask the smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastdevon Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I hired a rug doctor from my local tescos, fitted the hand held pipe and with the rug doctor wash fluid my seats came up like brand new, just make sure you do it on a warm dry day as seats will be damp and nerd a dry time.

Adge Cutler Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Bicarbonate of soda or baking powder..cover the area liberally and leave for at least 4 Hours preferably overnight... remove worst in morning with dustpan then hoover remainder. Works on Oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of mine put some bicarb liberally spreading it all over on his back seat to mask the smell of dog vomit,the old bill stopped him late at night coming back from a foxing lamping night out. Stopped him asked him the usual questions,where have you been, where are you going,have you been drinking etc... And another copper seen all he white powder all over his back seat, he said have you indulged in any illegal drug activity lately sir?? No I certainly have not officer,Can you explain what the white powder is then?? He explained the substance and what it was for,only for him to be kept for 2 hours while the located the drug sniffing dog ???

WinchesterDave Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 So did you get it out? On the evening of the post I went for the warm water/fairly liquid option... and a lot of it out of sheer desperation really... I then found a bottle of 'upholstery cleaner/stain remover/ deodoriser' in the cupboard of many things.... liberal application of both! When sitting in the car, the small has gone, you can't see the patch of diesel anymore either if you place your nose directly on it you can smell but I don't think they check the car over in that much detail that they'll sniff every seat; unless they're in to that ****. .... Again, cheers all! If it was still there I'd be on the hunt for bicarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually little white pots next to the baking powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
