    Parts washer help?

    I'd love to get that stuff but its soooo expensive. I saw that safety kleen sells the same stuff, same case number on msds. Haven't checked pricing though. What kind of parts washer do you have it in and what do you use for filtering with it? How often do you change it?

    Parts washer help?

    Yea I wouldn't want a solvent tank in my basement, water based would be ok but that's the wrong type of washer. I just cleaned my motorcycle chain with mineral spirits and its 30 degrees here, worked great. Solvent goes on the chemical principle of dissolving grease and oil. Water based...

    Yea that purple power is worse then any parts wash solvent. Msds is like a 3 for purple power, mineral spirits is 1. Our safety kleen stuff at work is 2 I believe. I did a test with oil eater and simple green on aluminum foil. Simple green warns more about aluminum then oil eater does. After...

A local industrial surplus place has a really nice graymills drum style for 320, was thinking of offering a generous 150 but...

    Bobcat, model parts washer did you get?Seems like the tractor supply psc 1000 is the best value, from my msds research its basically deoderized kerosene. Very similar or the same as lamp oil. I havent used it yet though, need to find a washer first.

    Bull, very nice find. I'm confused though, why can't you soak parts in the winter? Those aren't made for water based, and solvent wont freeze.

    Parts washer help?

    Drabe, Think I'm in the same boat as you looking for a parts washer. I was pushing for heated water based for health/safety but I've about given up on it. To much junk to worry about. Bacteria growth, freezing in my unheated shop, water based cleaners are expensive. I'm liking the bench top...
