I had the high pressure fuel line go out on Monday causing fuel spill. I had it fixed Tuesday morning....took truck to get washed, and the engine pressure wash to remove the excessive fuel because it was everywhere.
There's still a fuel smell in the cabin while driving.....enough to give me a head change/headache at some point?
Any suggestions? There's no visible leaks

Unfortunately a truck wash can't get it all. As long as there are no leaks your just going to have to wait until it goes away. Maybe open the windows in the doors and sleeper to get fresh air. I am not aware of any product that can help.

Also check around firewall and see if they missed some.
Leave a window cracked, and keep air moving through. -

Use one of them febreeze that clips on a dash vent. That'll work.
I swap mine out every 3 weeks. My car is parked at a food plant that makes an atrocious smelling sludge.
My cabin filter is also a febreeze that's swapped every 6 months.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
What I do is dispose of the gloves and associated clothing or kits splashed with fuel. Dispose of that too. Just keep in mind I am taught that if you leave rags anywhere in a workshop they will burn the house down after they build enough heat to do it.
I myself rely on that old time fuel smell that is untreated generally for winter with kerosene and I find it to be a motivator. Nothing says time to get going yer late as a snootful of fuel. People run off to the store buying wasteful trinkets of pretty oil this and that. Thats BS. Just a dallop of that fuel in this tin cup and leave it a while. We'll see whats what tonight.
