Parts Soaker

[PCO6]

This certainly isn't a new idea but I thought I'd show you the way that I did it. For years I've used an old 5 gal. metal pail to soak small engine parts, carb parts, etc. Today I added some air pressure to it to get things moving while I'm off doing other things. The pictures below identify the parts I used, and again, there are several different ways it can be done. The only thing that wasn't "off the shelf" is the lid which I salvaged from an old "bucket lever pump" (shown about half way down on this website ... http://www.pumpsdirectinc.com/products.html ). At about 60 to 70 lbs. pressure things bubble up pretty good.

e-tek ... "Not bad". It's not meant to replace the scrubbing that you have to do on carbs for example but it's good on dirt, grease and oil. It's good for anything that you might want to let soak for a while. The air agitates the fluid and helps to loosen things up. I learned the hard way to turn the air off and let the fluid come to a rest BEFORE I take the lid off.
