Re: "Burning" an Oil Pan



Well the CRC brand is what we referred to in the petrochemical industry as something like tri-clrothane. We used to just call it clorothane. ( I may have miss-spelled it)
I think It is a carcinogen . If not , as with all chemicals, it is better not to breathe.
But it will not burn, no way. But will burn your skin, or at least, it will feel like it is burning.
We used to have it in 55 gal drums in the 70's, and 80's, then later in aerosol cans.

I don't know about it actually burning but it's the vapor formed when hitting a hot surface that's the problem.

The brake cleaner I have will not burn.
No way.
It'll snuff a flame as fast as water.

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??
