Hey guys/girls,

I need some ideas for removing oil stains from my driveway.

They are dry stains that have been there for a while and some are only a few months old.

Already searched the web and found that kitty litter should help with the fresh ones.

Anyone have any great tips?

Cheers,

DK

ehhhhhhhhh too much effort haha I should have never knocked it over

Got a few cans of degreaser and some kitty litter.

Haven't got a high pressure washer so I will have to see how things go.

Anyone used petrol before to clean it off?

Kill it with FIRE!!! :devil:

Try Petty if you wish. Bleach? Sulphuric Acid? Sodium Bicarbonate and Vinegar? Box of Laundry Powder, Hot Water, Toothbrush and a knife to the Missus's Throat?

Damn you kids are lazy today. :P

Sorry Jason it was concrete
Ended up using carby cleaner and a scrubbing brush.

Tried like 5 different things I read on the internet and that worked the best.

Couldn't find any Hydrochloric acid
But I did use drain cleaner and that worked wonders, it made my skin come off my knuckles however lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
