Treading Lightly

[green40]

On our last club run we had 2 incidents where we lost fluids onto the ground.
One involved a hole in an oil-pan and the loss of oil onto the ground. Some effort was made to
clean up the oil with paper-towels but the proper absorbent pads would have been a much better solution.
The second involved a roll over where large amounts of gas were lost. Bad for the environment and a fire hazard.
Drivers, if please be sure that fuel lines are connected and gas caps are on to avoid this problem.
Some kind of absorbent and a container should also be considered.
We need to practice all facets of Tread Lightly.

as far as the gas thing goes. If are planning on wheeling areas where a roll over is possible you might consider heading out with less fuel in the tank. And supplement that with a proper 5 gallon can mounted to the vehicle.

Was that aimed at Nate?

Well right after that run I did a little research and purchased a marine unvented fuel fill spout, and a check valve for the fuel vent.

Not aimed at him but his recent rolls did come to mind.

Nice job!

A flat box that can be opened up and trash bag are good to have. Open up box put in bag, scoop up contaminated soil, etc. Rags AND towels for rocks.

I think you're still carrying the check valve around in a pants pocket, Nate.
