Gasoline Spill On Driveway

Denise Evans
17 years ago

DH started our SUV this morning and drove out of our driveway without realizing he was spewing gasoline all over our driveway, down our street and into town. Fortunately, a good samaritan caught up with him at a stop sign, less than a mile from home, and he pulled over and called 911. The fire department had to put some special stuff on the spill to soak it up and a tow truck hauled the SUV off to be repaired.

Now the bad part - the driveway, which is asphalt, has a large circular stain where the car was parked, and a ribbon of gas all the way down our 100 foot driveway.

Question: Will it evaporate? It looks awful and there's a powerful gasoline odor for now. Our house is for sale and I think we should try to clean it up somehow. Any suggestions?
