I managed to fix my oil fired central heating last weekend (the bolier is in my garage and there was air in the pipe leading to the riello fan), but I have since noticed a smell and found some of the oil had leaked on to the garage floor.

What is the best way to clean such a spill?

Many thanks
Bill

Cover witha 1cm/ 1/2" layer of washing powder, dampen and leave overnight. Brush away in a.m. (Also works on Ford Transit drips!)
