How to remove gas stains in cockpit

[Timwp]

I got some gas that leaked out of a can last year and it stained my boat. How can you remove the brownish stains?

I've had good results using Spray 9 or whitewall tire cleaner in removing stubborn stains from my boat. Can't say I've tried in on gasoline stains. Keep us posted if you try it.

A mixture of about 50/50 Bleach and Water in a Spritz Bottle worked for me, didn't quite get it all but the Sun finished the job.  Depends on how severe a stain too I guess.  Worked on gas and when I sprayed PB Blaster on a shroud turnbuckle and had a little overspray that missed the paper towel I wrapped around it.

Like solvents remove like stains ... so I'd try a shot of non chlorinated brake cleaner and a nylon brush.
As a matter of fact I put my CP-19 in the water on Thursday and had no time to clean her up 'cept to spray on the brake clean and wipe away the general dirt and crud with a clean towel before sliding it off the trailer.

Life is too short for rubbing and waxing.

On the deck I use a spray bottle of Clorox Clean-Up and a brush and sacrifice a pair of paints with the bleached out white stains. But I can do this at the dock.

get the stick up and get her in the water ... and to think two Saturday's ago I was leveling my dock with a come-a-long in a iceball snow storm. Gotta love Wisconsin.

Try Davis FSR. It is oxalic acid, but I couldn't find it elsewhere in a gel form, so I obtain from the boat store.
