My home remedy.

Sprinkle baking soda over the boot carpet. Cover the entire area and leave the baking soda on the carpet overnight. The baking soda will absorb any remaining fuel and will also help to absorb the odour.Vacuum the baking soda from the carpet the next day.

Then wipe the carpet with a damp rag soaked in warm water and white vinegar 50/50 solution. 

Wash the carpet with normal carpet cleaner, eg 1001. Leave to dry.

Then use a spray bottle with a vodka and water solution.  5 parts water to 1 part vodka.  This will kill any remaining smell.
