Is there any way to get tar (roofing tar) out of the carpet?

My husband was re-doing our roofing, when he tracked in tar on his shoes to our white carpet!! I have tried lots of carpet cleaners, even steam cleaners.... but nothing seems to help.. any suggestions ??
 
soak a small rag with petrol and a bit of elbow grease,just make nobody smokes when you do it.
the smell of the petrol will clear after a few days.
 
Try WD 40 to break down the tar then a degreaser to clean it finally
 
try tippex, more the better. be liberal with the application, but soft with the scrubbing. after 30 minutes rinse with warm water.
