I just had one of the return lines from the number 3 injector pop off while driving home, and I didn't notice anything until I backed into my driveway.
I dumped about 10 lb of kitty litter on the heaviest areas of diesel, but the kitty litter hasn't gotten really black yet, and the driveway still has spots all over.
Debating about
(A) doing nothing
(B) trying to get rid of it with TSP or simple green
(C) resealing the driveway
(D) wait for winter and putting the house up for sale...
Does Simple Green dissolve asphalt driveways?
just wondering

If the driveway is NOT asphalt, than "Lestoil" will do the best job. Just pour it on the oil spots let it stand for 30 Min, or so, and hose it off.

Its available in the cleaning product sections at most supermarkets, probably near Mr. Clean.

Don't use it on Asphalt

Sorry, I should have said that I have an asphalt driveway.
I vacuumed up the kitty litter, because we are getting an inch of rain tonight.
Wondering whether Simple Green will hurt the driveway, and pondering other solutions to apply, like some liquid Tide laundry detergent, or TSP powder, or dishwashing liquid, or whether just to let it dissipate over the summer and reseal the driveway with an oil based sealer in the fall....
