So anyone who works in a shop like I do uses brake clean all the time without any problems..



So I'm cleaning the tranny tunnel on my RX7.. With brake clean.. I was going to rubberspray the tunnel with some stuff I got for it.. Brake clean really gets gunk off fast, that's why I was using it.. So I'm spraying a little bit at a time, no problems.. Everything is going fine..



So then I take a big shot all over a really thick part that was being a pain in the *** to clean.. And I start wiping then..







I totally freaked out I didn't know what the **** was going on, or where I was, I looked around then realized I was in my engine bay/tunnel basically.. So I panicked and got out from under the car (I was laying right under in the tranny tunnel, engine and tranny is removed).. And went outside for some crispy Canadian air.. Then it dawned on my that my tranny tunnel isn't exactly a well ventilated area, which I took for granted using brake clean in a huge shop, I had forgotten it's suppost to be used in a well ventilated area..



Anyways so yeah it fucked me up, I couldn't focus, so I just left my garage, and came home.. I feel better, but I'm tired..



Not fun.



Be careful guys.

 

A little dizzy huh



I would have hinted to use a steam cleaner, put it up on high jack stands, then go to town, It's alot cheaper/safer than 2 dozen cans of brake clean.

 

I got a couple cans of it.. It was coming along nicely, I could see reflection of light off the tunnel walls, except at the top, so I sprayed a shitload, started wiping, the BAM.



That's as far as I got..

 

jeeze..careful that crap can be nasty. haha my mechanic has this spray stuff that will remove nearly everything. we put some in a plastic cup and let it sit. in 3 minutes it melted the cup in half lol...awesome

 

When I visit my friends shop, we like to spray eachother with it and light it on fire.

 

There colin! Now you know you arent the most irresponsible person when it comes to brake cleaner usage!!!

 

brake cleaner = electric motor cleaner.



electric motor cleaner = big fireballs.



big fireballs = fun.

 

I use brake cleaner to fuel my spud gun.

 

laquer thinner in a squirt bottle is cheaper and just as effective, 4 bucks for a gallon of it

 

some break cleaners are chlorinated... thatis bad
