[ARC5] Cleaning Capacitor Oil Leakage

[Geoff]

You really have to go some to get gasoline to combust. Its like many

I come from a long line of folks that have used various blends of gasoline 
over a century or so to degrease automotive and other items without lighting 
themselves or anything else up.
