I've used laundry Dynamo to get rid of petrol smells. Maybe you could mix up a really strong batch with boiling water and pour it in there and let it soak then use some of that oil spill stuff to soak it up.
At least it will be clean if it doesn't get rid of the stink.

you'll need to rip the underlay out and let it air out after a good hosing down, or burn it. Very Happy

rip the carpet out get a bottle of vanilla essence and spray the whole inside of the boot leave for 1 day also try truchwash with a sponge ,also strong washing up detergent take the rubber bung out of the bottom where the spare tyre goes to let all the liquid out hope this helps mate.
