How to get Fuel Smell out of Garage?
I have spilled fuel in the garage and have washed the floor with the hose but garage still smells of petrol.
How can i get rid of the petrol smell?
I take it the concrete has absorbed it all?

Fuel smell means its fumes in the air, not any residue on concrete. Pedestal fan blowing air out with a window or door open to keep air flow going
would be good

Activated charcoal will absorb most odours; when I was designing a fart muffler, that's what I used....

It's discreetly, permanently attached, somewhat like a stinger pipe on a VW...

Plug some of these in around the rest of the house then everything will smell the same as your garage.
and for that extra manly smell try this:
