Default Removal of diesel fuel smell from car's heater

Hi everybody, My wife's car had an unfortunate accident at her work place the other day. She works at a home heating and fueling station. One of the drivers overfilled one of the tanks in the parking lot where she parks with to much fuel. The fuel shot into the air like old faithful and it rained all over her car. We cleaned the car off but we just are not able to get the smell out of the heater because the fuel ran down the windshield into the cowl area of the car. I tried a hose and some soap in this area but the smell is still there. The car is a 2003 honda civic.

How about a pressure washer with a degreaser?

I tried the one at the local car was but maybe the one my brother in law has would do a better job. I'll have to call him and ask.
