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
