Replace


It can be really hard, or impossible, to get all the residue out of the carpet. There's no way I'd want to stand behind a job where I was being paid to remove 2 gallons of gasoline from a carpet. Plus it very likely damaged the latex and or adhesive at the backing too. Gasoline fumes are carcinogenic. That represents a bio-hazard that should be promptly removed and replaced IMHO. Just my 2 cents.

the gasoline will eat up the latex which holds the carpet together. Junk it! No salvation.
