I recently had the fuel hose from my outboard tear and spray straight gasoline (no oil mixture) in the cockpit of my sailboat. I attempted to rinse it right away with water and absorb it with a chamois, but to no avail. The next day there was distinct discoloration, but I can't tell whether it's just temporarily stained or it has eaten into the gelcoat and is permanent.<br /><br />Anyone had experience with this? Is there any antidote?

It shouldn'r really effect it. I'll bet it is just stained.<br /><br />Try the StarBrite Brand of F-glass cleaner.
