(NAPSI)—If you’re like most Americans, you may have made a dirty mistake: An online survey conducted by Harris Poll, on behalf of Briggs & Stratton in October of 2015 among 3,027 U.S. adults aged 18+, discovered that 70 percent of consumers have spilled gasoline on their hands, clothes, car or outdoor power equipment when trying to fill up their outdoor power equipment or vehicle.

The Problem

The study also revealed:

  • Men aged 55-64 have the highest propensity for spilling gas
  • 48 percent of Americans said they have spilled gas on their vehicle
  • 40 percent of Americans have spilled gas on their hands while pumping gas into their vehicle
  • 21 percent of Americans have spilled gas on their clothes while pumping gas into their vehicle.

A Solution

Fortunately, there is an easy way to remove gasoline and diesel odor and residue.

Called Gas Off, it’s packaged in convenient single-use foil packs, an eight-ounce spray bottle, a 15-wipe flat pack handy for glove compartments, and a 36-wipe canister good for a garage or workshop.

It doesn’t mask the smell like other sprays, cleaners and home remedies; it eliminates it. The special nontoxic formula removes the gasoline and diesel odor and residue from fuel spills and grime from pumps, leaving your hands clean and odor-free. The plant-based solution from Briggs & Stratton Corporation, the world’s largest producer of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment, is safe for use on fabrics, chrome, plastic and paint surfaces as well as skin. Plus, it won’t dry out hands as alcohol-based cleaners can. Briggs & Stratton also recommends not overfilling your gas tank, as gas is highly flammable.
