Default Help? Petrol on my lines
I have two lines Rio Midge and DI3 Sixth Sense which are smelling strongly of petrol. I was using the lines in boat at Brenig. Have washed in Fairy Liquid but to no avail, still stinking. Are they done for? Any other cleaning tips?

washing up liquid , a good scrub and lots of water to rinse..., pvc is somewhat resistant to petrol, however if there is any benzene contamination it will caise the line to swell and distort
