I know this has been done before. Looking for te most contemporary technology.
The 914 has an oil leak from the number one cylinder head seal & it gets pretty messy(whle running) until it's changed. I'm looking for something the REALLY cleans up the oil seepage on the garage floor (selling this place soon). What's the latest? Interestingly, my '73 tail dragger is dry as a bone - no marks, and it is the least maintained car in th garage! I need the oil marks from the 914 gone! |

Tools needed (all are needed)
Goggles Rubber kitchen gloves Long sleeve shirt and pants (junk clothes) 1 foot long 2*4 one disposable heavy duty brush One bag kitty litter, small One quart muriatic acid Kitty litter first, one night dump it on about 1/2 inch thick, leave it for the night Sweep up what is there, make sure you soak up all the easy to get oil. Do the kitty litter thing till all the surface oil, and a bit of the top stuff is gone. Now with it sort of dry, put on fresh kitty litter and get done on your hands and knees. With the 2*4 grind the kitty litter into the concrete as if you were using a brush...but you are just leaning on a 2*4...grind it in hard...till its all dust... That will get the rest of the surface moisture. Do that one again to be sure. Then put on the gear...muriatic acid can burn skin and eyes beyond repair. Use the brush and the acid to do the rest of the cleaning..you may find that the rest of the floor could use a muriatic acid bath...if so, dillute it spread with a foam mop, and let it sit for a hour or so...not long enough to evaporate or it will leave a salty looking residue. Muriatic acid is how you clean a tub, toilet, pool, patio etc...it works really well, but not if there is alot of loose oil.. So kitty litter first. Then muriatic acid. Oh, it also burns your nostrils...so a mask helps, and really good ventilation. It does work, but you need to be safe...its toxic and caustic...so have fun with it. It leaves white spots on your skin if you get a splash...the white spots are dead skin now... It is sold in most hardware stores for heavy duty cleaning. Rich |
