Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Now try some Wesleys Bleachwhite and that should get the rest of it. Dawn should get all of it up, but you might need to leave it overnight because its a really old stain. Just scrub it into the stain and let it sit.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Mark off the garage floor in 12" squares, then paint alternate squares with used Diesel oil, the alternate ones with white epoxy paint. After a week of drying time, soak up any excess motor oil and then you have a garage floor that looks like those on the car tv shows. Add a couple of chrome barstools and a neon sign, studebaker preferred. Or, take your airchisel and rough up the whole floor, then mix bridge deck concrete mix, (heavy latex and cement) and trowel it over the floor. This will also take care of any pitting or spalling you may have. you can take solvents and soap and a pressure washer and get most of it off. ; ) At 07:50 PM 7/28/2007, you wrote: >Paint the entire garage floor black? > >Seriously, some diesel oil stains on my driveway are over 15 years old. >They fade with time but they never go away. > >Thanks, Tom >256-656-1924 > >-Original Message- >From: "ANGELO GIAIMO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "mercedes@okiebenz.com" >Sent: 7/28/07 7:23 PM >Subject: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete? > >Parked my SDL in the garage for about a week while we went to >Jacksonville. >When I came back found a small puddle of oil about 4 X 6 under the front >left fender.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
I've had pretty good luck with the "Oil Dry" type absorbent. It's the same as kitty litter, but sold as a car part instead of a pet supply wiith smell crystals. Like suggested for using kitty litter, it works better if you kind of grind or rub it in and let it set for a few weeks. I suspect any calcined mineral like diatomaceous earth (kitty litter), portland cemet, kilned lime etc will probably suck oil out of concrete. YMMV.

Honestly, if your garage floor is coated then clean-up should not be a problem. You can wipe up the oil then scrub the floor with any good detergent. The problem comes from when it's not, like my driveway. In this case, some of the oil actually soaks into the concrete, carrying the black soot in with it. I've tried everything from Cascade, Coca-Cola, Muriatic acid and a pressure washer. Of all of these, the acid was the worse because the acid actually etched away some of the driveway surface.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet Take a smal pile of speedy dry and a piece of 2x4 about 6 inches long or so and use the wide flat side to grind the speedy dry into the stain like you were rubbing out paint except alot harder, keep at it and it will eventually all come out. You should end up with a very fine powder like flour if you are doing it right.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Simple green does a pretty decent job. Let it soak for a while keep it wet then hose it off.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
The more important question is this: why would you want to remove it? Let's face it, any dog worth having marks its spot from time to time. Or, in the case of my household, any good cat ... I'd say keep the spot intact as a conversation piece. And when anyone asks what the stain is on the garage floor, just reply, "I own a diesel Benz and you don't, so you wouldn't understand." D.

I saw him use starting ether to get grease out of the pants leg of a good pair of pants. Hard to believe, but he got it all out; pants like new again.

Re: [MBZ] How to remove diesel oil from concrete?
Paint the entire garage floor black? Seriously, some diesel oil stains on my driveway are over 15 years old. They fade with time but they never go away.
