Does anyone know how to get an oil stain out of asphalt? The truck I'm using is leaking pretty bad so I got a good stain out there. Any heelp would be greatley appreciated.

Thanx,
Glenn

If you dont like the Dynamite Idea, you might try a Pick and Shovel followed by a Big Ole Patch.

If you don't like the dynamite, Pick and Shovel followed by a Big Ole Patch ideas you can always park on the grass and walk in thru the back door.

On a serious note though, maybe a heavy brush, simple green, hot water? Pressure washer? Don't think you'll do any good though. My Cummins marks it's territory also, I just forget about it, park in different locations everyday this way I have an equal stained look.

the oil is probably good for your asphalt, keeps it from fading.   

Seriously though if it is like a bad slick spot, a shop broom, laundry detergent and some hot water will keep you from tracking it in the house.

Thanx guys.  I'll probably try the simple green or laundry detergent trick. I've got to try something to keep the neighbors from getting t-ed off at me! If that doesn't work I may try the dynamite!

Thanks again,
Glenn

absorbant clay Kitty litter or oil-dri...apply generously and then take your boots and grind it into the surface of the pavement. Let it sit, sweep and repeat as necessary. We do that here at work when the mill trucks leak oil on our parkinglot.

There are high pressure portable pumps that launch a high pressure, high velocity water jet that cleans everything that isn't physically stuck to the ground. The pump is light enough to be carried by hand by one person. A popular, widely used brand in Brazil is Karcher, made in Germany.
