No, I just use kerosene. However: If ya wanna build your own, Northern
Hydraulics sells a pump/hose kit; all you need then is a container to put
it in. I was given a military-surplus radio box, I already use it as a "manual"
parts washer and I think I'll get one of NH's kits. The radio box is about 2
cubic feet (so no really big parts will fit) and sturdy, and _really_ air-tight;
you cannot open it until you open a little air-bleed petcock. I could imagine
a less air-tight container would mean fumes/odors. They might be available
in surplus stores.

It's funny. On the Tigerlist, I betcha I'm younger then the average
list member. I'm also on the Nissan SE-R list, where I'm waaaay
older than the average. It's all perspective...

Perhaps. Mebbe I can use "mid-life crisis" as an excuse to expand
my "collection" beyond one car.
