You just spilled some fuel or oil in the harbor.
The Harbor Nazi's are coming up the channel
towards you. What can you do to get rid of the
oil stain before you get busted?

Call Tom Ridge and tell him an issue for the Homeland Security dept.
Then, nothing will happen.

You didn't hear this from me eg . Keep a bottle of "dove" dishwater
soap on hand, and squirt it on the oil ..... don't get caught doing
this, as it's also illegal and will get you into even deeper
trouble.(all you do here is disperse the oil, not remove it)

Even better, keep a bunch of absorbent pads onboard, ready for use. Many
times if the spill is real small and they see you are making an effort,
that will suffice, but no guarantees ..... there's a good deal to be
said for fessing up early.

You have harbor Nazi's? So, how about chucking some fuel next to another
boat and pointing at them?

Chuck a bucket of water with some detergent in it around your boat.

Here's an idea for actually removing the oil: If it's a small spill and
you have time (and the inclination), you could tow a polyprop line
around the spill. This will mop it up and contain it at the same time.
Then wash the rope elsewhere...

Except I'd make a 360 turn right in the middle of the oil, using full
throttle in reseve and forward;
