Coddy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi all At the last club night Neal, from Court Jester fame, brought over to me a sheet of oil absorbent material. Following my split turbo hose a few months ago I still had some oil floating around the bilge despite using a bilge cleaner. This sheet will absorb only oil so once it has fully soaked up the oil it can be easily disposed of in a clean and environmentally way (I think). It seems a great idea for those with inboard engines to have a sheet of this under or around the engine to soak up any drips/leaks. Not only will it keep the bilge clean but could prevent a possible fire by the oil catching alight if it should get in contact with a hot exhaust. You would of course need to check the state of the absorbent sheet regularly. Did not know if this should have been under the Safety forum thread or not but I thought it may help others that may not know what is available. If you are interested I would you contact Neil by PM or email for more info. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
