Re: Do not do this!!!!
Not specifically.They took CRC Lecro Motive spray out of our stock at work a few years ago. Brake cleaner sprays have an element in them that contaminates drain oil.Used oil is intended to be recycled, but the presence of brake cleaner renders it a hazardous material, unfit for recycling.While at the Finals in Pomona last fall, a young lady who was working on her Pontiac had a drain pan of oil and a filter from her race car which she took to the waste oil drain tank, and as she was cleaning it out and disposing of the filter, she used brake clean spray to wash her hands and arms as well as the drain pan.The bad thing, not only is brake cleaner bad on your skin, any chemical that wets your skin is absorbed into your system and gets into your liver. Many mechanics get liver cancer from a lifetime of exposure to various automotive chemicals. Possibly,electrical contact cleaner was foud to be a carcinogen. I don't think we still have a current MSDS on the stuff. If we do, I'll find out what this stuff contains.
