Side note theres a bar soap called fels naptha.
I have in a pinch used shavings of it to patch
"leaks" in oil pans and fuel tanks - F250 had it on a spot right above drain plug for a few weeks and on the rear fuel tank for longer. Works well on cleaing hands when oiled though this use is no longer recommended due to the naptha(lighter fluid??) content - CANCEROUS like everything else.Worth putting a bar in your truck or vehicle if to just clean the hands trailside/roadside.
The oil pan plug/gas tank was a pre WWII thing (so gramps says)...If I could light it and make a flare or cook over it that would be a neat product.
