Went to the gas station to fill up my 5 gallon tank for my lawn mower and it tipped over on the way back and spilled some gas in the rear. Does anyone have a diagram of the rear hatch and how to remove everything on the floor? I'd like to take everything out and wash/rinse thoroughly to make sure the smell is removed and i think there may be some residual further down under the carpet panels. The car does have the rear facing seat option. Thanks.

Hello and welcome,

Petrol should evaporate fairly quickly, I'd leave the windows and boot open and let nature take it's course - you could remove any mats to make it easier
