I use a mixture of kerosene and an engine degreaser (3:1) .... I know you
said "no brand names" but just in case anyone is interested I use Gunk as
the engine degreaser fluid.   I'm sure it is not safe for hands; but it eats
every glove material I've considered using if I work too long with the
stuff.   I just use disposable gloves and change gloves regularly if I'm
using it for a long period of time.   And, wash up very well after using
(since every once in a while the glove fingers dissolve before I make the
change to fresh gloves.)

G'day

 

I hope Santa was kind to you all.

 

He was to me, with one of the things left under the tree being a parts
washer. You know one of those red troughs with a lid and a submersible
electric pump to squirt the solution up a flexible pipe.

 

It's not set up as yet as it's occurred to me that it would be pretty dumb
to use my normal petroleum based degreaser due to the electrically driven
pump.

 

Does anyone out there have a parts washer and what degreaser do you use?

 

Please no brand names as the chances of what's available in the US being
also available in Australia would be pretty slim.
