Battery acid spill

**Saulman1010** · 13th January 2020, 07:28 AM

Started my work day moving the company vehicles and under one is a pool of battery acid.
The Hilux 2nd battery has cracked and leaked out over the weekend.
Other than flushing area with copious amount of water what else can be done?
Is a Totoya, made of tinfoil, its gonna corrode like hell.

Over to brains trust....

Mix up Bicarbonate Soda in Warm water.
Pour over everything.

Thanks heaps.
Things dropping out of my brain lately.

And then wash the bicarb off - it is nowhere near as corrosive as battery acid, but it will still help corrosion along.

Then a coat of Fisholine.

You can get deodourised fish oil these days.

Tectyl from Valvoline.

I’d be more worried about the concrete in the shed than the stinkin hilux!
The Lux will rust quite admirably all by itself without your acidic input.

Battery acid will spall the shed floor for ever more.
You want to neutralise and then rinse and remove
As much as possible....

Another good reason to have a sealed concrete floor!!!

I’m aware of this, and yet you can still smell it
