I guess I am fortunate that none of my three cars and one mc don't leak oil.
And if by chance a visitors car dribbles some oil on my concrete driveway, a little liquid dishwashing detergent and some rain soon erases the telltale stains. But, as I was recently draining a lawn mower gas tank, I spilled some gas on the driveway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Well not to worry, methinks, it'll soon evaporate. Well the gas [/i]did evaporate, but it left a big, ugly stain right in front of the garage. And now, several applications of liquid dishwashing soap have not cleaned it at all. Someone suggested brake cleaner, but I fear that the runoff will kill the new grass that we finally got to grow along the side of the driveway and garage. Anyone have any suggestions on cleaning this gasoline stain? I'm really surprised that the gas even stained the concrete in the first place (the concrete is two years old and has[i] been sealed.)
