Washing away the smell of Diesel

I know this is an old thread but for future reference, I would give the urine a miss. Pembilly is correct, washing up liquid is the best.

It's also great for getting dax wax out of your hair and cleaning frying pans!

The surfactant properties of the washing up liquid is what breaks up oil-based stuff like diesel doncha know.

On a slightly related note, i was in a petrol station forecourt this one time (hung over) and I was approached by a perfectly able bodied well dressed middle aged woman and the convo went like this:

her: Could you put diesel in my car for me?
me: Sorry, I actually don't work here
her: I know that, would you mind doing it anyway?
me: are you not able to do it?
her: I don't know how
me: are you serious? how long are you driving?
her: um.... I don't know
me: so if you don't know it must be a good while then?
her: yeah
me: and do you not think that as a motorist who has been driving a good while that you should know by now how to fill your car with fuel? do you get someone to do this in every petrol station?
her: (speechless...)

So I left her and went into the shop and when I came back out she was filling it grand. As I had guessed she was well able to do it but just didn't want to get the smell of diesel on her hands / clothes.

Neither did I, but that's not why I didn't help her. If it was a frail old dear I would have helped her. I didn't help this one because she was a lying manipulative wagon.
