My family has this storage unit thing, and I have two engines in there right now. One of them is mine, being disassembled for someone for a raby 2056 engine, and the other I got from another clubmember from OH.
Forgot to check the oil in that engine, and now there's a huge oil spot in the unit. How do I get it up? Kitty Litter or some engine degreaser or what? Kitty litter works good on oil spots at home, so maybe i'll try that first. b |

Pour about 5 gallons of gas on it and let soak in real good. Take a stiff brush and work it in to the stain.
Stand about ten feet away and flick a lit wooden match into the center of the stain. Works every time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

Standing oil or stained concrete? I'm confused (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
Standing oil - yeah, kitty litter (also known as diatomaceous earth (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) ) Stained concrete - Tri sodium phosphate (sold as TSP at a hardware store-paint section) |

soak up the standing oil with kitty litter, the clay type = cheap! sweep it up then add more kitty litter and use your shoe to grind it in, let it set over night then sweep up. That works for me most of the time. When that doesn't I have this product called pour & restore. Pour it over the stain and let it dry (5-6 hours) then sweep up. Works every time.
YMMV |

Kitty litter overnight usually does the trick.
Someone suggested Tide detergent with a little bit of water ... kept the Homeowner's Association off his back. |

Here's a trick I learned for oil stains, pour some laquer thinner on the spot, let it sit for a minute and then throw some kitty liter on top of that. Let the kitty litter soak it up. Works well.
