Hey fellows, Anybody know what a person can use to clean diesel up from asphalt? I got a few litres on my parking space and it's pretty tarry and greasy now. It's soft too and gets on my shoes.

Too late, the fuel is eating up the ashphalt. Best thing you can do is rinse it with a solution of dishsoap and water,try to take off the excess fuel. It might dry up over time if you can get the extra fuel off, but chances are you'll wind up with a hole that needs to be patched.
Oh yea, fix the leak too. It will just keep getting worse!

I use Cat Litter, put it on kind of heavy and let it absorb for a couple days then sweep it up. Dries it up surprisingly well.

Well what happened is my car fell over with both back wheels off. Suprisingly the only thing that was damaged was the water seperator.
I'll try scrubbing it with some degreaser or something. Hopefully is doesn't get too bad! lol
