I had a fuel line break and spray gas all over my 76 Bus engine. The line has been replaced and Buzz is running fine. What is the quickest way to get the gasoline smell out of my cab ? I hate going to work smelling like gas ! Thanks for any help out their !

I'd say activated charcoal. If it can De-Stink a grow room, it can De-Stink a bus.
Look for it at an indoor grow shop or fish shop.

Vanilla does wonders to mask almost any smell.

Leave the windows and engine lid open hope it's a warm day. Engine lid closed if driving. |

You could try putting a large house fan in and turning it on with the windows open. Just getting the air to move around in all the nooks and crannies will help get it out.

Get a couple cans of brake or carb cleaner and thoroughly douche the whole area that was sprayed with gas. When gas evaporates it leaves a residue of additives and such that continue to stink. The cleaner will lift and dilute the stuff. If the stink persists mayhap you still have leaks. and should replace all fuel lines, see avatar.
