If its the smell your concerned about then dont worry.  It wont last much more than a day or 2.  Certainly extracting it wouldnt hurt.  Apply some powerburst via a trigger sprayer, allow to dwell for 5 mins then extract as normal.  Get plenty of dry strokes as especially in this colder weather it may take a while to dry out and as theres no air movement in the car it takes longer than usual.

How unusual. What ratio did you dilute the diesel in your sprayer? How long did you leave it to dwell?
