Good Morning! :)

I have had a fuel leak from my car and now have splodges of diesel on my drive :(   The recent rain has shown them up even more!!

Does anyone know the best way to clean them off tarmac without staining the drive even more?

Thanks in advance!

I might be completely off track here, but I seem to recall a distant memory of washing powder being sprinkled on an oil patch when I was a child. So on the basis Diesel is quite oily, and I don't think it could do any harm, might be worth a try??

Sounds good idea to me! :)  Will give it a go

This should work, probably available at Halfords etc

Biological washing powder scrubbed in works really well on oil so should work on diesel too. Wet the surface lightly, sprinkle on the powder and scrub it a little bit to make a paste. Leave it for a while and wash off.

I had an oil leak and used this. It does work, but I found I had to use it neat rather than diluted.

I had to fix an oil spill today. I just used washing up liquid and boiling watter, gave it a scrub and it was gone!

Washing powder is a good idea or if that fails you could try sand or fullers earth cat litter :)

Halfords keep a few products to clean driveways, to be honest you just need something that cuts through grease but make sure that its animal/ plant friendly.

My OH pours a little petrol on and then gives it a scrub, you could try treading in cat litter first to soak the excess up.
