[Vwdiesel] about to re-ring, scuff question

[Nate Wall]

Just got back in the office after a 4-day trip. Hey...How do you sign off the
Yahoo list? I thought I did, but still got e-mails from the Diesel List (I
clicked on "no e-mails")

<<<What did you do with all that heating oil after the flood?  I just don't
like messing with large amounts of solvent (i.e., diesel, heating
oil, gas, mineral spirits, etc.) 'cause then there's all this unusable
stuff I don't know what to do with, it's like instant home-made
pollution.  That's why I'm looking for alternative solutions.

I guess I could use diesel, make a pressurizable can with air fittings,
and force the diesel out through a spare oil filter I just happen to
have, but I kinda wanted to finish this project in a week or so!  :)
Not to mention all the rags and oil on the garage floor... uggh!>>>

I used a great big aluminum baking sheet under the motor and about a gallon of
diesel and about 5 old towels to sop up the mess in the garage. I poured the old
heating oil in my used oil containers.  Here's an excellent idea.  Buy a small
(1.5 gallon?) plant sprayer (the kind you pump up) and fill w/ diesel and use
that to clean off the honed parts.
