how do you remove tranmission fluid...

...from your driveway?

some moron sprung a leak (a very bad leak) from the transmission, and decided to pull into my driveway to inspect it.

so i come home, and now there is a huge puddle of fluid in my driveway. not from any of my cars.


like the idiot couldn't just stop on the side of the street...no

Try oil dry to get rid of the wet stuff and gas works as a good solevant to get rid of the stains.

Re: how do you remove tranmission fluid...

dude, go to the pool store and get some shit called Cyanuric Acid. You use it to balance the pH in a pool. You can also use it to get oil off the driveway.

Re: how do you remove tranmission fluid...

I used some heavy duty degreser...but it didnt fully remove the stains.

Yah, try acids...just be carefull, and use LOTS of water when your done. Dont want to kill the Ecosystem thanks to you fixing some assholes mistake.

Umm....gas is worth a try too, but....dont do them all at the same time...all 3 combined might summon the devil or something.

Re: how do you remove tranmission fluid...

First soak up the excess fluid, then use gas, let it sit and hose it down. Try clorox lol. Thats what I use

Combinging all 3 probably wont do that but it might explode im assuming the ph balancer stuff is a base, base + acid = water + heat + some kind of gas possibly
+ regular gas that you put in your car will probably = boom.

Re: how do you remove tranmission fluid...

Diesel or kerosene should work but if not try some driveway cleaner they have at Menards it's got some sort of acid in it that works pretty well.

*Edit* Brake cleaner may work also.

Do NOT use any petroleum product (diesel, gas, solvents) on an asphalt driveway. The asphalt will soften and be damaged and discoloured.

As noted above, use oil dry or kittly litter on the spot for a couple of days. Grind the absorbant into the stained area with your foot.

If its concrete, brake cleaner and a brush will remove any stain.

If its asphalt, your driveway is stained for good, but time and the weather will reduce the stain somewhat.
