Hi all

I've just spilt some diesel on my tarmac drive (9/04/07), about the size of a large boot print, its only been laid for 4 months. I've washed the area down with soapy water but the area just seeps an oily substance!! Is there anything else I can try whilst its still Fresh?

Thanks

All I can advise it to try and soak up the fuel using either cat-litter or newspaper to wick it out of the surface.

Then wash down etc...
