Order a 44-lb bag of absorbent compound, NSN 7930-00-269-1272, to soak up oil and spills in the motor pool.

Just pour the compound on the spill and sweep it up once the spill is absorbed. Then dispose of the compound in a proper HAZMAT container.

Table 1 of CTA 50-970 is your authority for ordering the compound. You can find it on the Army Publishing Directorate website HERE.
