The Problem

Fuel and petroleum spills in soil can occur at job sites, yards, tank areas, farms, marinas, fleet facilities, generator pads, and anywhere equipment is refueled or stored. Diesel, gasoline, heating oil, motor oil, and hydraulic fluids can migrate into soil and create strong odors, ongoing contamination, and difficult cleanup conditions—especially if the spill has been present for a while.

Absorbents may remove surface liquid, but petroleum can remain below the surface. Without proper treatment, odors persist and petroleum can continue to spread with water movement through the soil spreading the contamination.

The Solution

Petro Buster® emulsifies petroleum, making it water soluble so it can be dispersed and diluted with water. When applied at the correct ratio and followed by significant water introduction (hose or rainfall), petroleum is reduced to trace parts-per-million levels, with the microbial action finishing the remediation process.

Directions – Fuel Smell Removal & Soil Remediation

• Verify amount needed by estimating how much fuel such as Diesel, Heating Oil or Gasoline was lost in the Soil.
• If you dilute 1 part Petro Buster with 4 parts water, this 4:1 mix will treat up to the same amount of Fuel you are remediating.
• Pour liberally on Soil saturating it well.
• Let sit for a day at surface level.
• Introduce large amounts of water either by hose or if you receive a lot of rain, even better.
• Petro Buster makes the fuel water soluble and when you introduce a large amount of water it will dilute it to trace PPM and dispurse with the microbes finishing the job.
• The smell should be gone almost immediately.
• For Remediation suggestions based on your situation, contact us for some treatment suggestions. We have a vast experience in dealing with Petroleum Remediation which we are happy to share with you to help you with your situation.

Tip: For best results, treat everywhere the fuel traveled, saturate thoroughly, and ensure plenty of water is introduced after initial treatment.
