I recently dumped a cupful of dot4 hydraulic fluid on the firewall area under 
the hood of my 
race MGA.  Not being able to remove all of it, especially in the nooks and 
crannies, the residue 
is slowly but surely eating it's way across any paint it can find.  

I am toying with washing any areas I can get to with kerosene, but if this 
stuff is not diluted 
enough, I fear this will spread the damage further. Further I am not sure what 
to do with 2 
gallons of kerosene on my driveway.  

Does any one know of any water soluble goops which will neutralize this stuff?
