Clean Heating Oil Spills, Leaks & Odors – Eliminate the Smell!
Heating Oil also referred to as Furance Oil, is a great source of heat using Dyed Diesel in a furnace. The BTU’s that come from Heating Oil is quite impressive and the new technology for the Heating Oil Furnaces is making it a great option to heat homes, businesses and other buildings with HOWEVER it needs to be contained in a tank, either inside the house or directly outside with a furnace oil line leading to the furnace from the tank.
Unfortunately, there can be many environmental issues associated to Heating Oil with tanks leaking for various reasons, Heating Oil lines cracking or breaking and leaking Heating Oil into basements of homes. All of which causes a great amount of stress with Cleanup and the unbearable odor / smell that comes with it actually being Dyed Diesel fuel now inside your house.
Many times even outside tanks that have a leak, can have the Heating Oil find its way down the foundation wall of your house and into your basement through weeping tiles to sump pumps and other routes that allow it to find its way.
Petro Buster is the perfect solution to resolve many of these issues associated with Heating Oil leaks and Spills. The formula is designed to make the Dyed Diesel / Heating Oil water-soluble and the microbes in the solution break down the hydrocarbons in the Petroleum making it a two-pronged approach to breaking down and biodegrading the Heating Oil quickly.
Usually with all of this ends up with the smell being out of control usually and so unbearable many people have to leave their homes, however, because Petro Buster emulsifies the Heating Oil on contact, it removes the Odor / Smell on contact. In many cases removing the Odor / Smell is as big of a problem as cleaning the fuel spill!
How To Remove Heating Oil Smell from Concrete:
- Verify amount needed by estimating how much water would cover your area effected. Generally it requires at least 1 gallon of mix for each 10SqFt of Concrete.
- Dilute 1 part Petro Buster with 4 parts water
- Pour liberally on to Oil stain on Concrete
- Scrub firmly with stiff bristle brush until it starts foaming
- Keep scrubbing until foam turns brown. That is the surface Oil being removed from the Concrete
- Rinse away with fresh water
- Repeat 1 to 4 above and then let the product dry in Concrete
- You should notice the fuel smell go away almost immediately if you have treated everywhere the fuel went
- You can wet the area with water to re-activate the Petro Buster and you can ad more Petro Buster if needed and continue this process until clean
How To Remove Heating Oil Smell from Soil:
- Verify amount needed by estimating how much fuel such as Diesel, Heating Oil or Gasoline was lost in the Soil
- If you dilute 1 part Petro Buster with 4 parts water, this 4:1 mix will treat up to the same amount of Fuel you are remediating
- Pour liberally on Soil saturating it well
- Let sit for a day at surface level
- Introduce large amounts of water either by hose or if you receive a lot of rain, even better
- Petro Buster makes the fuel water soluble and when you introduce a large amount of water it will dilute it to trace PPM and dispurse with the microbes finishing the job.
- The smell should be gone almost immediately

Petro Buster is an Industrial Strength, Eco-Friendly Remediation product.
A Biodegradable Surfactant that is Super Charged with Microbes & Enzymes.
Eco-friendly remediation products are becoming a huge part of our world although many are not what they claim. In the petroleum case by virtue of what it is, any product with petroleum in it is not eco-friendly. With that said, most cleaners used to break down petroleum products are not eco-friendly either.
Most of us have heard that there are naturally existing organisms that feed on petroleum used in Remediation. We refer to these as enzymes and microbes. In many cases, the microbes actually create the enzymes as part of their process in digesting the unwanted substances we are trying to clean.
Petro Buster is in fact one of those remediation formulas that has 50 billion microbes per litre. The formula passes the test on many levels and does not have ingredients on toxic lists – have a look at our Safety Data Sheet to see the Environmental Specs. These environmental notations on the SDS are very hard to obtain without strict verification that the product is in fact safe for the environment and safe to use.
Our formula was originally designed to remediate and clean Oil that was in ballast water at a railway station in the United States. The EPA came after that railway company and told them they had to clean it up. They hired a Biologics company to develop an Eco-friendly and Biodegradable product that would break down the oil completely in an environmentally friendly way and in a way that the EPA would be satisfied with which worked to their satisfaction.
Petro Buster is an industrial-strength Eco-Friendly Remediation Soap Engineered to Break the Tension between Petroleum and Water. It also has Microbes added to it that were patented by a scientist who altered a naturally occurring microbe so that it would be hardier and more sustainable in harsh environments, unlike the naturally occurring microbes.
Our remediation formula is not just a great industrial strength soap that could clean almost anything but it can also Biodegrade Petroleum Products and the Hydrocarbons associated to them.
We found the formula being used by remediation companies and thought it should be made available to everyone to clean up a wide variety of problems on a vast range of surfaces.

This stuff is Gold, works great for Oil on Concrete Driveway!
A truck delivering some building matterials to one of our customers at BMR Elmvale leaked hydraulic oil on our customers concrete driveway and it went onto the Asphalt road area at the base of the driveway. We were asked to clean only the concrete driveway portion so I used Petro Buster on it as described in the instructions for Concrete and it worked perfectly with the stains gone the same day!
I highly recommend Petro Buster if you are trying to remove oil from your concrete driveway!

Hey Mike that is an awesome story and we are so happy to hear about your success and see these pictures you provided. I can see a trace stain there still but that will dry out and go away with some rain. Thanks again for trusting Petro Buster to get the job done right the first time!

Diesel Spill!! It worked!!!
Fuel line rotted of the bottom of my tractor Diesel tank. Roughly 4 gallons of diesel leaked into crushed stone in my driving shed. I was unaware until the smell of diesel was unbearable for for 100’s of feet around the driving shed. Upon investigation found the leak. we are not far from water and a well so we searched for a solution. we found Petro Buster and Bill explained how we should apply it for best results. With in a day the smell was diminished to only close to the shed. By day 4 no smell anywhere. we also washed down the tractor with the mix and a scrub brush. The tractor is cleaner than we’ve ever seen it and it doesn’t smell of spilled diesel anymore either!! We continue to stir the stone and soil monitoring for signs of diesel smell so we can reapply if required but have not found the need.Can’t imagine what other remedies could have cost. This is a great product from our experience!! Will always have some on hand now. Thanks Petro Buster!!

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!
I had a serious home fuel oil tank leak in my basement about a month ago. Additionally, there was oil spilled outside on the ground and on my cement patio. The mess and smell seemed insurmountable. After much time spent researching products to clean and deodorize I found Petro Buster–the only product that actually breaks down the oil molecule and destroys it. I contacted the owner of this company (Bill) who took the time to answer my questions, help determine quantity needed AND helped expedite my order. He was right–the smell was gone after the FIRST application and after using as he directed, the oil has dissipated! I owe Bill my utmost gratitude as I thought my home would be contaminated forever. Don’t bother with green stuff, purple stuff or Dawn soap. This product works beautifully and is worth every penny I spent. Thank you, Bill for your excellent customer service and for making this product available to anyone who needs it–not only for your customers but for the environment as well. I will always be grateful for this product and your help.

Hi Tom, it is great to read this review and learn of your success remediating the heating oil leak at your home in Italy. Also happy to hear that it removed the fuel smell quickly as promised. It was also quite interesting to have an opportunity to send this to Italy and have your contractor learn about it. I appreciate your faith in our Product after our discussion about your situation on the phone. I hope your Contractor in Italy is impressed after having tried other things that did not work and did not have to dig out half your house to remove it. Thanks again for this review, much appreciated! Bill Fligg / President Petro Buster Inc.
Great and not just for fuel spills
Hi, I bought Petro Buster for a diesel spill from the garbage truck. It worked great. Then after talking to owner Bill, I used it to remove black marks from a golf shirt that nothing else worked. Then I used it to remove beer stain from carpet that nothing else worked. Thanks

Hi Steve, I love this story and really appreciate you sharing it! This really is a testament to how diverse Petro Buster is at cleaning more than just Petroleum. We have people that use it on work clothes to remove Diesel and Oils, plus others use it to remove stains like Red Wine on carpets which I have no idea exactly why or how it works on Red Wine but truly interesting cleaning product. Hard to believe the range of use from cleaning and remediating Crude Oil, Diesel and Gas soil contaminations and Hard Surface stain removal of Petroleum, elminates Fuel Odors on contact and more. All the Best and thanks again! Bill Fligg / President
petro buster is amazing
i had a heating oil tank leak outside on the soil. i dont know how long it was leaking. I would say it leaked maybe 30 or 35 gals. i did not know what to do i was very frantic. i started to look up what to do. well i saw petro buster works on soil spills. i called and talked to bill the owner and he told me what to do step by step he is also one of the nicest people i have ever dealt with. so i ordered 2 pales. i received them and put 1 down 1 gal to 4 gal of water well as soon as i was putting down the smell began to dissapate. when i was finished putting down 1 pale it started to rain wich was great it was washing the buster into the ground which was great. i waited a day and put a little more down and washed it down with garden hose. that was a week ago and you would never know there was a spill execpt for some dead vegation. the owner is the best absolutly no b/s.

Hi Ed, I really appreciate your kind words about me and it is great to hear how well Petro Buster worked cleaning up your Heating Oil (Dyed Diesel) leak in the ground. I take great pride in making sure we provide quick response and work through the cleanup details with our customers from years of experience. Such a rewarding thing to be able to help others with a product I believe so much in. In regards to the dead vegetation area, if Petro Buster was introduced there immediately after it happened, it would have prevented that, however now rest assured you can re-gro anything there including if treated propertly, it being safe for a garden with vegetables that you would eat. Wishing you all the best! Bill Fligg / President Petro Buster Inc.

Saved our new porch landing
We just had a new front porch and landing completed , made of natural stone. A person servicing our generator spilled oil in many spots across the landing. I called Petro Buster and they saved the day! I used their ready-to-go one time and the oil stain was gone. Here are my before and after pictures. Fantastic, thank you.

Hi Judith, it was an absolute pleasure speaking with you on the phone both before you purchased Petro Buster to clean your oil stain and after. It was funny because you said you would find me if it didn’t work, and you would find me if it did work. I love that kind of kidding around and really appreciate that you did take the time to call me and tell me how great Petro Buster worked on your stone stairs at the front of your house. I also really appreciate the pictures of before and after that you sent! Thanks again!!! Bill Fligg / President
