  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....

        =20
        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
