[Spridgets] Engine de-greasing..

[Dave KK7SS]

My thanks to all who responded both on and off list.
Bearing in mind that I only have my driveway and a garden hose and that the first vehicle to be treated is not yet street-legal (no plates, title, etc..)
My first attempt will use the majority suggestion -- Simple Green,

My local Big Lots has 1/2 gallons of Simple Green concentrate on sale at $5...
So, not much $$ to lose <G>

I'll remember to put baggies over the electrical stuff ;)

Now all I have to is wait for it to stop raining!!
