[Vwdiesel] My very own Gulf of Mexico

[Justin Bennett]

Used a product called Oil Eater when I was working for an aerial applicator on the airplane.  Worked good but was hard on the lungs thru the powerwasher.

So tonight, I'm out changing the oil in the TDI after dark (when the 
temps had dropped to 95?).  Everything's going smooth and I haven't 
spilled a drop on the driveway.  I'm sure y'all can tell where this is 
headed.  After starting the engine, I hop out to check for leaks and 
step on the oil drain pan like a ornery milk cow.  3.5L of oil go 
everywhere.  I immedately dumped 30# of clay oil absorbent on it, but 
I'm sure there'll be a huge oil stain.  My garage floor is a total loss 
already, but I'd been keeping the driveway clean.  Anyone have any 
success with any cleaning products for oil in concrete?  Gasoline, etc. 
might work but I'm not willing to risk burning the place down.  I've 
read about a few products that are "biological" agents, basically a 
detergent and a mild fertilizer.  I'm inclined to think "scam", but I'm 
curious if anyone has tried them to find out for sure.   I do know that 
there are bacterial based parts cleaners that work.
