Thanks for the advice.  I had a small parts washer from Harbor Freight (3.5 
gal.) that I used when I freshened my Midget.  The plastic pump broke and a 
replacement costs as much as a new washer so I threw it away.  Now I have a 
big garage so I want a 20 gallon washer.

I was thinking of trying Simple Green in it.  I guess it would have to be 
diluted a bit.  Has anyone tried it?  I'm sure it won't damage the pump and 
it smells purdy!  Other than that, I may check into Safety Kleen products, 
which will be more expensive.
