A lube supplier wants to see its product in your engine, where it does the most good. But occasionally, the stuff ends up on the shop floor, and even a minor mess can be a major headache if it’s not cleaned up right away.

Castrol Heavy Duty Lubricants has packaged everything you need to take action in the event of a minor spill (15 gallons or less) into its Emergency Spill Kit. It contains a variety of universal absorbents for oils, alkalis, acids, fuel chemicals, and contaminated water, as well as booms, flame retardant sawdust, and absorbent pads to contain the spill and soak it up. Special disposal bags with 15-gallon capacity are included to safely contain waste material, and drum plug compound to seal the source of the leak.

The kit has simple instructions and colour-coded contents that make it easy to use, and it all comes in a rugged, easy-to-carry bag so you can cart it where and when you need it.
