Best Way to Clean Belly

[hharney]

JUST LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES UNDER OIL AND FIND A DISTRIBUTOR OF PETROLIUM PRODUCTS. I KNOW OF ONE IN COLDWATER WERNER OIL COMPANY. NOT SURE IN ZOO. BUT I KNOW YOU HAVE THEM THERE.

NOT SURE IF I HAVE TRIED MINERAL SPIRITS. THE WAY I CAME TO KNOW STODDARD IS WORKING WITH RADIAL ENGINES ON TBM'S AND AT6'S. IF THOSE GUYS AREN'T LEAKING OIL YOU BETTER NOT FLY THEM.

LARRY, THE ONLY REASON MY BELLY LOOKS GOOD, IS BECAUSE I CLEAN IT OFF ABOUT EVERY 4 - 5 FLIGHTS BEFORE THE GRIT STICKS TO IT. IT'S A PAIN.

I DID STOP A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE MESS WHEN I SEALED THE GEAR PUMP SHAFT TO THE ENGINE.
