Spilled gas!!

Hey guys, I'm working on my Cafe racer (Bike) and when I turned the gas valve on gas was comming out on my carbs overflow tube. Anyway, I lost alot of gas! I instantly put some degreaser on the floor. What is the best way/product used to get the gas smell out of the garage. I want to work out there without getting sick to my stomach from the fumes!!!! Thanks guys!!

Other than a can of deodorizer, only a little time for the fumes to disperse with the garage door open. it will eventually evaporate enough to where you will not be able to smell it.

If you like the smell, Simple Green works great. Though I might be the only one in the world that actually likes that smell. A temporary fix would be to hang a few pine tree air fresheners in there and crack the garage door open to help disperse the gas fume smell. lol.

the degreaser was pointless, IIRC gas is a degreaser, so...

Good call

Get a big box fan and move lots of air around the garage.
