basically to make a long story short:
I have my mothers minivan for the day. my friend called me because his car ran out of gas.
I filled up one of those portable tanks, but i must have left the lid loose because theres gas all over the back of the minivan.. about half a gallon (2 liters?) of gas spilled and the entire car smells strongly of gasoline and i can see where it spilled i the back.
My mother is going to be back in 12 hours and will probably use the car...
what can I do to get the smell out ASAP??

Thanks so much in advance!!

oh p.s. i dont really have mney, so i cant afford to take it to an expensive carpet cleaning place. i can spare a little bit to buy some sort of cleaner or something..
