Diesel Power

Over the past years i have worked for a company working on Yanmar diesel engines. When i first started i really didnt care about what i was spilling into the bilge or out into the water. Then I came to realize that i wanted to be a Conservation officer and the major goal is to protect and serve wildlife. Nearly all of the boats i worked on were in the water and all of the contaminants that is was spilling was going into the water. I went to my boss and asked if he had anything to prevent the contaminants from going into the water he said "no". I told him how big of a problem it was and he agreed with me and we started looking in some books and found a solution. I ordered some things called "pig blankets" they only soaked up oil and dirt and fuel but they didnt soak up water.I took them on the boat with me and when i spilled some diesel fuel and oil i tried the "pig blankets" and they worked amazingly. \I was pleased I was able to help the environment and it made my boss happy because he didnt have to worry about getting any fines for dumping contaminants into the water.
