Hi Patrick and and all the list

We, from Western Australia, wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

In our industrial parts washer the washing fluid appears to be a 
paraffin (kerosene for Australians) based product with other hydrocarbons.

It works better than straight kerosene, more like what you get in the 
cheap aerosol 'Export' brand degreaser cans here.

The degreaser can be recycled quite easily as all the crud settles out 
in the bottom of the reservoir and it's just a matter of decanting the 
degreaser fluid to a temporary container and digging out the settled 
crud and disposing of it thoughtfully.

cheer
