Re: Diesel/Gasoline and Paper



Thank goodness s/he was stopped. As far as a solution goes, I'd like to know
what you find out, as we have dozens of equipment repair manuals stained
with varying amounts of oil, grease and who-knows-what from when they were
consulted in the heat of battle. So far, photocopying has been my only
remedy.

Best wishes,
