Oil & Fuel How do you get diesel scent out of clothes ?

As I posted in another thread, it's redneck insense. Glad to learn of it's aprodisiac properties. Guess I must have just been blissfully ignorant all these years!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--
My hillbilly wife says she loves the smell of tractor on me.

I think that would make a good song... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If those "California" stickers they are putting on diesel equipment now can be believed, diesel has a adverse effect on the reproductive system. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I asked a trucker the other night how to get diesel smell out. He said "You can't". /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

That homesteading today thread had some good ideas but what is this one

<font color="blue"> If that doesn't work, try (under safe conditions - nowhere near an open flame or functioning electric motor) doing a bucket hand-wash in petrol (gasoline). Preferably outdoors - unleaded
petrol has some real nasties that you can inhale. Maybe this is something your husband could do at work. Then rinse (outdoors still) in warm water, then should be safe to wash again
normally. If necessary, repeat again with methylated spirits. Principle of the thing is that each time you're washing out the previous contents with a lighter solvent, until you get to something
that is completely water-soluble. </font>

Use paint thinner, which is mineral spirits. You stand a lot less of a chance of blowing yourself up. After you're done using it to clean your clothes you can use it in your parts washer.
