    Default diesel smell

    What's the best was to remove diesel. I've got a strong smell of diesel when heaters are on. I know why because I had to undo the nut on the injector to loose the air out when I changed diesel filter but I had a collection of diesel by the boost sensor how can I get rid of it starting to give me a headache when I'm in the car. I've tried boiling hot water just to try and wash it out
