Please help; spilled gas in helmet
My friend was in from out of town. I let him ride my Sprint ST, and I took out my brother's Aprilia Caponord.
We were getting gas, and as it turns out, the Aprilia's gas tank is VERY different from the Sprint. I usually just barely stick the nozzle in the Sprint, so I can see when it's full. Well the Aprilia has a dang black flap that you have to push the nozzle through to fill up. Didn't see the flap, so gas splashed up all over me, with my visor up (had sunglasses on). It is truly amazing how much gas comes out of those things in just a split second.
So anyway, DO NOT EVER DO THIS. It was ugly. Everything is back to normal now, except for the gas smell in my helmet. It's a Shoei TZ-R, so no removable chin pads. Smell is driving me crazy. This happened on Sunday, and the smell was still in my helmet this morning.
Is there any trick to getting the gas smell out?
