Lidl chain cleaner.

I purchased one two weeks ago and decided to try it today on my chain. It works and I am satisfied with it so far. It is still in one piece too, so for the price it cost, I think it was a good buy.

Whatever you do, don't use petrol in it, the last one that I got eventually warped through using petrol in it and dropped to bits, white spirit, parrafin, degreaser etc was OK, but not petrol

Why would you have petrol lying around?

I put GT85 in mine not the aerosol stuff obviously but the liquid stuff. I just poor it out the bottle into the chain cleaner does a pretty good job

'cos some of us are fed up of being preached to by the H&S brigade and just like to live dangerously.

Cos that's what my lawnmower runs on and its a useful cleaner

Same here except for using in my rotavator, and for starting garden fires, and for using in my camping stoves and also for degreasing my chains or anything else, so if I did not have it "Lying around" I suppose I would have to use thin air which would be inside the gallon container which I doubt would not be very succesful

A jam jar and white spirit comes to mind and cheaper

Point taken.

This wasn't you was it


"A TAXI driver who tried to beat the fuel crisis by storing petrol in a wheelie-bin at home was given a suspended prison sentence yesterday. Saquib Bashir, 28, caused a major alert, leading to the evacuation of 60 neighbouring properties and a £100,000 clean-up bill when fuel melted the bottom of the plastic bin and leaked into the cellar of his terraced house.
At Derby Crown Court, Bashir admitted storing petrol without a licence and in non-metal containers. He was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, suspended for two years, and ordered to pay £1,000 costs. Bashir had stockpiled 90 litres of fuel in a wheelie-bin, a beer barrel and a cooking-oil container at his home in Normanton, Derby. Later he told trading standards officers that he had no idea that petrol was so flammable."
