Default Bilge cleaner

That's right.
I learned there is more harm in pumping out oil/detergent than just oil. But
this probably applies to bilge cleaner, too.
BTW, I've used Simple Green to clean up (with paper towels) the engine room,
and the fumes are right potent.

don't pump it overboard - you'll be polluting. Cleaners don't make the
grease and oil vanish, they just come off the surface and are contained in
the liquid. Soak the mess up and dispose of it the way you would any oily
waste, or wash out the rags and use them for more dirty work.

Can yu sue Simple Green as a bilge cleaner? Just pour it in full
strength and let it slosh around for a few days, then pump it
overboard? What do $50/gal bilge cleaners do that Simple Green won't?


I would advise against suing them. These companies can muster some very
expensive legal suppor, and if you lose, bankruptcy could follow.
