We are building a house and they sprayed the cement with sealent, (tar) and our dog's tail is now covered. (i was watching him, but you know dogs) My dad said gasoline, but i don't like that sound of that. I tried dish soap and some came off. I'll have to cut most of the hair I know!

Do not use kerosene, gasoline or anything else to try to remove the tar. Your only option is to shave the dog. I've been a groomer for years, and I'm telling you there is nothing else you can do. Call a groomer and get an appointment for the dog right away. The hair will grow back before you know it. NOTHING will remove it. NOTHING!! I've seen it lots of times over the years. And if you don't do somthing about it soon, your dog is going to get a severe irrititation from the tar. The hair will start matting where the tar is, pinch the skin together and form hemotoma's. Nice vet bill. Get the dog shaved as soon as possible. Good luck.
