Reiterate; Simple Green is very corrosive, particularly to aluminum.  The
military has prohibited its use on planes and such where it may get into
cracks, crevices, under rivets and other places where it can not be fully
and successfully flushed away.  Our company had a situation that it (at
least contributed) to serious corrosion on stainless steel piping and
fittings.  The corrosion isn't instantaneous, like dumping acid on metal,
but it is insidious if it can hide-out somewhere.  Very good cleaner but use
with caution around metal.

thanx...I have a gallon of that Simple Green stuff in the garage....I'll
give it a go!

 
On the ground- use Oil absorbent - available at the auto parts store- rub it
in with your feet, and let it set for a while, then wash down with some
simple green.  Inside the nose of the fuse, you will have to wash it down
with simple green or some other type of good degreaser- don't use the
"engine brite" stuff on the glass, it will leave a residue....


 
OK,  I know other RG owners have had hydraulic leaks...what is the best way
to clean up the hydraulic oil spill....? That stuff gets pretty sticky after
it sits for a while...... Jeff C
