How to Wash Diesel Fuel Off a Car

Video Transcript

"Okay, today we're going to demonstrate removing diesel fuel from the car. We have recently added fuel to this vehicle and it has spilled over to the outside as you can see it running down the outside here. The first thing you want to do is wipe off any excess fuel. This is a normal towel that's available at any refilling station and simply wipe up, fold the towel over and try it again. At this point we have saturated this towel. Now we need a degreaser. This is petroleum based diesel fuel. Any common household degreaser will work fine. You could potentially even use a windshield washing solvent which I have here. I'm going to spray it onto the body of the car, take another clean towel, start at the bottom and wipe up. At this point, all the diesel residue is removed from the paint of the car."
