Fast Orange or something like it. Something that has citrus in it.
Goop Hand Cleaner works well too but its own smell isn't that great.

There is one other thing you might try...but... this is supposed to be a "family friendly" forum.

Family friendly? Since when? Don't tell me you were gonna tell him to **** on his hands? Use some soap for gods sake. The smell will come off EVENTUALLY anyway.

Master of bation, lol!! If thats it no way. I washed my hands four times with soap, dish washer soap, girlie Cucumber melon soap, and I even used some tangerine lotion stuff. Everything that happened it melled like that and fuel. Today its not as bad. Its pretty much almost gone.

You're getting warmer with the girlie smells. Cucumber optional!

If you have a lemon, squeeze a bunch of lemon juice on your hands. It has tons of citric acid, and it helped me get the seafood smell out of my hands after a long day of peeling scallops or cutting filets.

Well on this note, you get ****ed at it ALOT!!! But that Actually helps get the hoses off. I have a 2nd gen and my fuel filter is on the fire wall, but alittle ways down it. After getting tremendously frustrated with the top hose I just got some good grip and turned opposite direction the filter was turning and I finally got it off. Same for the bottom one. Took me 15-20 minutes just to get that bad boy off and only like 5 minutes to put the new one on. But after you are done nothing but smiles on your face. Then you think how many miles after this you're going to have to do it again and you hope it wont be as hard as it was this time. If you can change your oil and oil filter in your car you can do this.
