Title: Gas Stain
Post by: FordLover on May 03, 2015, 11:38:22 AM

So I had some gas leak out of my tank and it stained my white paint.  I gave the boat a bath and used a couple different substances but still can't get the stain off.  Anything you guys use that might help? Thanks

Stupid experiment.  Take a sliced Russet potato and set it on the stain and see if it makes any difference after about ten minutes.
