Spilled diesel fuel, need help

[macdoesit]

Spilled a gallon of diesel, it went under the tractor on the floor in my shop. How is best way to clean up, or how long would it take to dry.

 

[Diggin It]

Oil dry, aka kitty litter.

 

[sudden]

Kitty litter and a broom or sawdust if you have it. It takes forever to dry, so you need to get it up

 

[CalG]

Floor dry, of saw dust. Sweep it up and put into a paper bag. Throw the bag and contents into the wood stove. Burn it when there is a chill in the air. (like today ;-)

Put down another light coat of floor dry or saw dust and just leave it sit on the spot for a day or two to pull up the residue. Or. spray the area with brake cleaner. and dry it up.

 

[old and tired]

I've used Dirt before... for the last little bit, paper towels.

ashes from burnt wood or charcoal works real good

Pressure washer and ZEP Purple don't work bad either.

Was mixing vegetation killer with diesel, had small spill, butane torch wouldn't light it. Placed paper towel on it and it burned like a wick in a kerosene heater. I'm stocked up on oil dry now.

Clear the area of anything flamable, and grab one of these: Propane Torch

Super handy for cleaning up oil/gas.

Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham/Leeds Alabama shocked the Dawn guys when they called asking about ordering in bulk. Seriously, they found Dawn was the best thing for cleaning oil spills on the track.
