Shirt, pants soaked w/diesel...How do I clean?
Long story short, I installed CAT 2mic fuel filter in my toolbox. While re-routing fuel lines, I got diesel on my shirt, pants, in my ear, 
, etc. I've cleaned my clothes twice, on a heavy cycle w/ extra soap and added Pinesol, because my wife thought it'd help.... NADA. Still stinks like diesel. I love diesel, just can't handle sniffing it all day long... gives me a headache. HELP...

get some greased lightning (purple bottle) from autozone...that stuff breaks down oil, diesel fuel, anything it touches. add some to your laundry when you have heavy oil or fuel stains

Well, even though I think it's a cool idea, I don't have the money to burn my clothes at will...
I like the simple green idea and may try that. The greased lightning stuff might be a bit too strong for fabric, seeing what it does to certain metals...

i found this awhile back i havent tried it myself but im sure if it works for crude oil itll work on diesel fuel, the name of the thread it was qouted from is called "washing carhartt jackets"
Throw a can of Coca-Cola in the wash. I don't know why, but it works on tough stains and smells. Tried, tested, and true by oilfield workers everywhere.
On Edit:: Make that the contents of that can - not the sealed can by itself. Just had to clarify after reading my post.

My friend took a bath in diesel while change some fuel line on a rabbit. The jeans and jacket that got soaked still smell like diesel from 25 feet away. that was about 1 year ago. He might have just tossed them since I haven't noticed the smell in a while. Good luck.
