Hey Tim! I still haven't got all the oil out of my underpants after taking leads etc. in the crankcase!!!
Nah, just joking there - I used to save up the bad and the ugly shreddies, socks and boiler suits to do crankcase work. They were never washed, just given the deep six. Then, there was a time when I cleaned a purifier in whites while on UMS!! Again, they were donated to Davy Jones' slop chest, sorry locker!
Rgds.
