Re: "Burning" an Oil Pan

[Richard Kinsley <leroar.kinsley058@xxxxxxxxx>]

Do not allow brake cleaner to burn. I have a safety alert about it that says it is a guaranteed way to kill yourself painfully. The little white puffs of smoke coming from brake cleaner hitting a hot surface, etc., are deadly . It's called phosgene gas and there is no antidote. It will affect a person in 6 to 48 hours after inhaling just a small bit. It causes all sorts of issues that basically wind up terminal or you wish so.

That said I just get out the old scraper and some paint thinner and go at it. When it gets down a bit I hit it with a wire brush and wire wheel. It'll come off but it is a pain. Of course it wouldn't hurt to snaek it into a car wash and hit it with hot water and the pressure washer.

I'm attempting to clean up some of the parts that I CAN use off my
trashed poly block. When I got to the oil pan, it's the nastiest thing
I've ever seen. The goop that's in the oil pan is so thick that brake
clean won't even cut it. So my question is...is it going to
irreparably screw up my oil pan if i literally light it on fire to
burn this crap off, since it's extremely to get off by other means??
