Prepsol (it is bio-degradable, won't kill grass).

Wet area.
Spray Prepsol.
Leave for 20 min.
Rinse off.
Repeat, if necessary.

(A high pressure washer helps a lot!)

And a wire brush + elbow grease after spraying the Prepsol and during the rinse off phase. (I won't ask why you need to know if you don't ask me how I know).

Do we need a poll as to how the oil got on the paving?

• No container under the sump.
• Container in the wrong place
• Container to small
• Container moved
• Container knocked over
• a combination of the above
• to embarrassing to post on any forum

Come on, out with the truth!

You left one out!

forgetting to put the sump plug back!

I thought of that one, but the heading ("Used") eliminated that one, I thought!

Now it's a well flushed engine. Very good for the engine

Oops, non of us would EVER do that.

I hope you have learnt from this. The trick is to phone a friend claiming you have some beer that you would love to share but also need to do a little job on the Paj, but not to worry you will come to him and he can watch you work, IN HIS DRIVEWAY !

if you make the same mistake, leave ex friend with remaining beers and get out of there quick.
