Gas or Petrol Stain on Hypalon

[vipthelifestyle]

Hello RIB lovers,
I need some help removing Gas or Petrol stains from hypalon. I have a Walker Bay Generation 400 RIB and the gas fill, is on the side, right above the tubes. Almost impossible not to get fuel on the tubes when fueling. Anyway. I've tried just about everything from Magic Eraser to Hypalon Inflatable Boat Cleaner to FSR. Still can't get the stain out. Anyone run into this before and know how to get rid of the stain?
Thanks,
-jb

Are you sure it’s Hypalon? And that it’s petrol (gas) thats causing the staining? Normally Hypalon is unaffected by petrol (Milpro make fuel bladders out of Hypalon). Do you have photos? Are you sure it’s not rust from dodgy fixings around the filler spout?

I thought it was rust forever and tried everything. Then I dropped a few drops of fuel on the other side and the same stain happened. I will post pics soon but it's definitely gasoline.
By the way. Thank you for your help so far.

No idea if this will clean it up but I've had fantastic results with fairy power spray and a magic sponge. There are some pics on here somewhere of before and after when I cleaned tubes last year I think

or wash the boat in petrol until you have an even distribution of stains
