I bought a triple stainless sink and my desire is to set it up with three separate solvent pumps/tanks for cleaning greasy car parts. (see picture)

I am looking for a source for solvent pumps and other hardware such as flexible metal hose and stiff brush with solvent flush, etc. Any idea where I can buy the pumps etc. to complete this project?

The biggest problem I see is how to keep the solvent from evaporating, or is it going to go back into a sealed container when you are done?

In answer to the question of evaporation, my original thought was to have the sinks drain into sealed buckets/containers that would sit underneath. I also figured the pumps would be submersible and would be suspended about half way up in the bucket/container. I haven't thought the whole thing through and am very open to suggestoins...for example, what would be a good/easy way to remove the solids that would settle out? I imagine that the solids would need to be removed to prevent solvent overflow.

I have no experience with this sort of pump or arrangement so I don't have any idea on the brand, size or anything. Have any of you seen any designs or do you have any ideas that might help me to get this set up?

Oh, by the way, I also plan to have a pull out and drop down counter top to cover the entire surface so that I can use this as a work bench when I'm not using it for washing parts.
