Without going into too many juicy details, 150ml of concentrate Simple Green (not the aluminum friendly version) solution spilled in the backseat of my RV8 , mainly leaking into the fuselage through the flap pushrod on the left side.
I cleaned it up by removing some panels in the baggage area and using an extended pole with rags to reach as far back as the rear bulkhead.
I also removed some inspection panels and cleaned what I could in that area. The Simple Green leaked out from the tail at the tailwheel rod spring, through the flaps, and from a seam on the fuselage's underside.
To clean it, I sprayed water lightly into the affected areas, including inside the fuselage, and flushed it several times. I'm still seeing traces of green in the water collected under the tailwheel rod spring.
For those still reading: what else should I be doing? What should I worry about long term, what should I be inspecting short term?
