Diesel smell

Pull Ya · 09-22-2009, 07:51 PM

Had a #4 injector line break and diesel poured all over the engine and the undercarriage. I've washed the engine and undercarraige twice, used Simple Green, hot soapy water wiped it down by hand and the truck still smells like diesel. I've also driven in rain on wet streets thinking it would wash the undercarriage. Left a huge fan run over night pointed at the underside of the truck. Checked the engine--no additional leaks. Damn it still stinks and the "boss" is getting p*ssed. Now what?????? Getting rid of the "boss" is not an option----

Thanks,
Jay

brake cleaner....spray everything down with it and wipe whatever you can down and then spray it off. that should clean the diesel fuel off completely and get rid of the smell.

use the "engine soap" at the hand truck wash and spray from all angles the back of the motor and the tranny and from under. should get most of the spill and smell out.
