    I would like very much to see any reference to a manufacturer of EPDM or TPO that recommends using gasoline to clean their roofing material.


    I would like to see ANY reference to using a highly flammable gasoline to doing any type work on an RV. BTW, NOBODY uses Gasoline to clean a roof EPDM or otherwise. Doug
