Diesel Fuel Soaked Mahogany Panel

My Racor fuel filter had a gasket leak for some time and the diesel fuel has dripped onto the mahogany side panel that covers the diesel engine. I am in the process of refinishing the wood and can’t seem to get out the diesel fuel from the wood. It has a wet stain and is saturated. So I can’t get any varnish to stick well. Any ideas on how I can get the fuel out of the wood?
Thanks,

Brian

I'd look for any product that absorbs oil. You might also try a good paint remover. I think a lot will depend on how much fuel oil the wood absorbed
