I have read that rubbing alcohol is to be used in fresh water tanks to get rid of diesel fuel odor. Strong rubbing alcohol or cheap booze will absorb the diesel and get rid of the odor. Rub it in and wipe it up a few times.

I would think a small pair of vicegrips placed on the beginning of the insulation would protect the insulation from getting burned by "wicking" away the extra heat and providing a barrier to the flame getting to the insulation.

Knowing a bit about RC model yacht racing and sailmaking, I have found that sails are cut and sewn together ending up with a concave shape. It would be impossible to roll up that shape without wrinkles. If the sails were flat they would roll up perfect but that is the job and expense of the sailmaker to shape or cut the sails for the best lift or thrust.
