| DownanDirtyCleaningOilinBilgeorWateranwhat2do4aheartattack This is something I found by accident when remodeling a house, the cellar had filled with water a fair bit, after a prolonged easterly rain storm,that lasted a couple of days.The old fuel oil tank leaked a fair bit of oil and the slick I was faced with would have had DEP drooling about overtime pay, Well I thought to myself ?were am I gonna find the rags needed to clean this mess up,? thought to myself what can i spare in my wardrobe back home well MY polyester Disco suits were out of the Question cuz i know Disco is gonna make a return someday an I want to be ready for it. Well had a couple of rags laying around , Well my brothers sweatshirt, he had left , well that picked up 99% water 1/2% something undistinguishable and 1/2% fuel Oil ,,, Yep this was gonna be a mess, Well I had been doing some fiberglassing with the pink fiberglass batts and i didnt have anything else so i took a piece and Damn !!!! If that didnt soak up just the oil ,, the oil swam to it like a Salmon jumping a Dam to spawn, Capillary action at its finest.. I used the pink fiber- glass but think yellow will work too.. Yep down and dirty oil removal Heres another Tip from Listinwickedbad if someone is having a heart attack, and you dont know CPR Get that person to Cough like the Doctor tells ya when ya getting that 20 year physical your suppose to get every year, a friend of mine who is 3rd engineer in US merchant marines told me about this technique something they were told,, so comes from pretty good authority, Well I really like this Site but i find myself staying on here reading bout boats when im suppose to be doing other stuff, anyway Peace Listinwickedbad Last edited by Listinwickedbad : 04-04-2005 at 10:07 AM.
