Did yours smell like gasoline when you got it? Any clues as to exactly what materials were used to make this? Smells pretty toxic.

It doesn't smell at all. I am extremely satisfied with the product. I guess there might have been something in the inventory or shipping..

Mine had a new smell but barely. It did not smell like gas or muggy or any other smell. The function is great and we're best friends now

It is probably a petroleum product that would leave this petroleum smell behind. Manufacturers use adhesives used to stick the top side to the rubber mat to the bottom. I have never had this problem. I have only heard of people that told me about this. They let the mouse pads sit outside for a day and the strong smell went away. I am not a doctor, but it should be safe to use. As long as you don't consume it. Good luck. Chuckle...

Hmm?! I didn't bring it up to me nose and it didn't alarm me as I couldn't smell anything. Chemically all those resins and polymers are related to benzene so I wouldn't be surprised to hear your impression. Good news is that the unpleasant smell doesn't carry Amy health risk with it. Soak it in brandy. I'm sure it will help

Ours do smell a bit of gasoline too, but I think a soak in warm soapy water should fix them.

It appears to be a standard vinyl tube, and I use it for a fountain I built. Not sure if it is suited for gasoline. I have a gasoline syphon to empty mowers, and I am sure that is designed for gasoline. Sorry.

I'm guessing you mean fumes? Personally, I was very careful not to get any gas on the outside of the container when pumping. So for me, I didn't smell anything on the 10 minute ride home.

The FitBall mini i got smelled like new rubber... like the smell of a brand new pair of rubber shoes... I don't know if that's the odor you smelled but it should not be smelling "terrible" that you have to "off gas" it.

I have not experienced a gasoline smell on any of the Tenzi party packs I've purchased for myself, family members and friends. (I've purchased over 10 party packs within the last year.) Maybe you could try using baking soda to absorb the gasoline odor. ??? We really enjoy playing the game, especially when we use the 77 Ways to Play Tenzi card pack.

I take mine down to the local welding supply store. They have CO2, Oxygen, Propane, Butane, Acetylene, etc. I had a cool looking bottle that came with mine, silver color with black logo on the side. They would not fill it for me. I had to exchange it for a scratched up full one, but nobody opens the door and says, "Ewe gross" or anything like that. :)

from what I have experienced, the gas turns red and the rust seems to come thru, or is still living beneath it.. I used a radiator shop, they did a serious chem bath and coated it with an crazy sealant..looks perfect.. $110, if you want to make it perfect.. I had the option to leave it bare metal inside..

I would exchange it, mine had a slight "new" smell to it but after being out for a couple days, the smell was gone. It never smelled like chemicals, perhaps something got spilled on yours?

I had a smell in the beginning but as they say below it wore off...if it continues I would contact the manufacture for another model. Make sure to check for melting plastic...also make sure the outside doens get hot.

It's made with petroleum distilates. Apply in ventilated area, avoid breathing it.

No, we did not have any gasoline smell on our wagon. Perhaps it happened in shipping and you should contact UPS.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.

I am sorry, Mr T, but I am uncertain of the chemical makeup of the horn. I am a simple peasant. But, from my old daze, when I was involved in vulcanizing tires, I would guess that this product is NOT vulcanized rubber. It appears to be some sort of plastic. The preceding is only a guess from an uneducated truck driver. (If this matters: I am very happy with this Clarinet)

I never used mine because the rubber compound in the cover releases an overwhelming toxic smell! It's still in my garage airing out ! Maybe in a few months it will de-gas
