Is an oil stain on a concrete driveway a fire hazzard?

Question

My landlord says so. It is true?

Answer 1

no an oil stain on a concrete driveway is as safe as you can get. but it does stain and looks bad

Answer 2

Thats like saying diesel is a fire hazard...

I emptied a couple quarts of oil in my moms driveway on accident and cleaned it up with a can of carb cleaner/brake cleaner and some rags.

Even when it rains you can't tell there was oil there.  No big deal, your landlord is a terd, just clean it when you leave.

Answer 3

No, it's not a fire hazzard.  If you really want to remove it, Lowe's sells a citrus product that will remove it completely.

Answer 4

According to the EPA, it is considered a hazard and yes under the right circumstances it could catch on fire, remember the main word is "right:.

Answer 5

yes it actually is, do not park over it and if its in your garage and you dont open it often it can light without flame (combust) but that would take awhile. i would just clean it and fix your tube leak underneth

Answer 6

He's probably angry that someone's car is leaking oil all over his driveway.

Answer 7

Only if you fall asleep on the driveway with a lit cigarette.
