I remember a place I worked just out of high school, had one of those home made engine vats.
It used a powder, just scoop it in until it worked good.
It had a big gas burner under it, turn it on, throw a burning wad of paper under there and stand back!
One time the bosses son had loaded it the night before, let it boil all night. I went to unload it the next morning, hooked the chain to the cherry picker and started jacking the engine block out.

The hose was right there, didn't take me but a few seconds to start rinsing it off. I was surprised how little damage it did, just some red blistering, but in some very sensitive areas!
