Had a similar situation Friday. I decided it was time to clean out the
parts washer. What the heck am I gonna do with all that stuff in the
tank? I could take it to the parts store if I could just figure how to
get it there. So I double bagged some large garbage bags and put them
in a 15 gallon can I use as my trash can in the garage. I then used a
can and scooped the liquid and gunk into the bags. I was almost
finished; had about 5 gallons of the stuff in the bags. I tipped the
washer up to get the last of the stuff. As I tipped the washer with one
hand and scooped with the other I lost balance with the washer and it
fell over. As it fell it knocked the can with the bags over. It took
almost a full bag of oil dry just to stop the flow and another to pick
up the residue. The stain will remind me for a long time that I need to
be more careful. Oh, and now what do I do with the soaked oil dry?
