Ok, so I spilled about 3 quarts of trans fluid doing my engine swap and the home owner where Im renting swap it on the concrete in the carport today and flipped the fuck out. Whats the best way to clean the stain up so I dont have to hear about it anymore? I was also told to not turn a wrench on another car at this house :no:

LOL yea. You can also get that cat liter stuff for oil stains. My dad used it all the time and it seemed to work.

be careful with how much pressure there is- if it hits some loose concrete at 1800psi you are going to start ripping the concrete up.

Yes he does, he still has animals on the property and there is no "lease" really. Never signed any type of paper work.

Oh I know, we try not to run the pumps above 1200 anyways to avoid busting lines. Seems to be an issue on our trucks, especially when you add heat to the mix.

tell him you'll paint/resurface the floor when you move out and it'll look 100x better.

Use some Purple cleaner and let it soak for a bit.
