Lol.....I guess I am the smart kind of guy that sees that it says hot and doesn't touch it.

You should be very careful what you apply Simple Green to.  I made the mistake of cleaning my motorcycle chain with it, and it ruined the o rings and therefor ruined a $125 chain.  Apparantly SG has a corrosive effect on certain materials.

Very good point. I should have mentioned that when I use Simple Green on the engine I dilute it 2-1 with water. The dilution depends on the severity of the gook you're trying to remove.

Thanks for pointing that out.  You have no idea how much I use that stuff for cleaning.  It was diluted for cleaning my engine (partially because I would have sprayed a whole gallon on it with my spray gun).....but I will keep that in mind for future projects.
