oil

[macc nova]

right a load of oil came out of the engine while i was splittin it and went all other the drive and me stepdads goin sick. Whats the best way to clean it up because he says that it eats away at tarmac?????

[Nick]

tell him to chill out, it's only ****ing oil.

you can buy specialist stuff for removing it, try your local motorfactors !

Lay some sand over it for the time being, it'l soak it up a treat.

Put about an inch of sand down on it, leave it a day or 2, shovel it up, then put some form of degreaser on it and rinse it down the drain with a hosepipe.

Xeno's sand trick works quite well if theres a lot of oil. After scraping up the sand witha shovel, I buy a box of persil/own brand clothes wash stuff (can you tell I don't do my own washing), put about 1/2 inch of it over the oil patch, hose it and scrub with a yard broom (the massive ones with really stiff bristles) Wash down drain, jobs a good un. Don't wear good clothes when doing it though, as you'll have used all the washing machine powder.

its not oil that eats away at tarmac it is petrol. we spilt aload when buildin a banger once and it melts the tar!

ive found kitty litter is good, you put a layer of that down then grind it into the surface with your feet, then leave it a few days , et voila all gone

Cat litter also works just incase you have a pussy (snigger)

God damnit stuart... you got there first... now I look like a DIV.
