[AlexanderLynn]

Here are the solutions for dealing with a rat feces smell in the engine compartment: 1. Cleaning: Use a cleaning agent to remove dirt and grime; 2. Disinfection: Use chlorine-based disinfectants like 84 to eliminate bacteria; 3. Adsorption: Depending on the situation, use quicklime, activated charcoal, etc., to absorb odors; 4. Ventilation: This is the best method for removing contamination; 5. Masking: If the smell persists, use perfume to mask it. Additional Information When cleaning the engine or engine compartment, first turn off the engine to deactivate all electrical components and allow the engine compartment to cool down. Never clean while it is still hot. 1. Diesel or Kerosene Cleaning Method: Fill a pressure container with diesel or kerosene and spray it (or apply it with a cloth) onto oily areas in the engine compartment. Before spraying, cover items that may be damaged by oil, such as high-voltage wires, electrical circuits, and other electrical components. 2. After spraying the oily areas, wait for the grease to dissolve. Once dissolved, wipe it clean with a cloth. After wiping off the sludge, use an air gun to dry it. If you don’t have this equipment, use a car air pump to dry it.
