    I delivered to the one in tifton once. And once was enough. It took 8 hours to empty my trailer. I wouldn’t care if that place burned to the ##### ground.

    Back when I was hauling the spotter trucks Target would update 20 or so units around the country . Always 2 to a load with 2 trade ins for a back haul. I hauled these on a step deck with dovetail and ramps. I would get to some of the DC's out west especially they'd tell me I couldn't idle while I was there , I'd tell them had to idle to run my hydraulic pump they'd tell me ok.
    The trailer wasn't hydraulic and I didn't have a wet kit on the truck back then . Nobody ever questioned me about it.

    Well no, not really.
    Tried opening it up and put a box fan in it.
    Tried Ozium.
    We'll just have to wait I guess.

    The good news is that my arse is healing up nicely.

    Wipe down surfaces with a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, and hot water.
    Can sprinkle baking soda in large amounts around in it, open all doors/windows/trunk, let it air out several hours, vacuum up baking soda.

    coffee grounds could help too.

    This is what Chat GPT-5 said to do:
    Spilling gasoline in your car interior is a tough situation, but you can absolutely tackle it with the right steps. Here's a comprehensive guide to clean it up and eliminate the smell:


    Step-by-Step Cleanup Process
    1. Act Quickly
    • Blot the spill with old rags or paper towels to soak up as much gasoline as possible.

    • Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain deeper into the fabric.
    2. Ventilate Thoroughly
    • Open all doors and windows.

    • Park in a sunny spot to help evaporate lingering fumes.

    • Use a box fan to circulate air through the cabin.
    3. Deep Clean the Affected Area
    • Mix a solution of baking soda, white vinegar, and hot water (equal parts).

    • Scrub the area with a nylon brush or rag.

    • Let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then blot dry with clean rags.

    • Repeat if needed.
    4. Neutralize the Odor
    Try one or more of these odor absorbers:

    • Baking soda: Sprinkle generously over carpets and seats, leave overnight, then vacuum.

    • Coffee grounds: Place in open containers around the car.

    • Activated charcoal: Excellent for absorbing chemical odors.

    • Citrus peels: Leave orange or lemon peels in the car for a fresh scent.
    5. Replace Cabin Air Filter
    • Gasoline fumes can linger in the HVAC system. Replacing the filter helps prevent recirculation of the smell.
    6. Optional: Use an Ozone Generator
    • As a last resort, an ozone generator can neutralize stubborn odors. Follow safety instructions carefully.

    The Judge had good advice too.
