Title: Parts Washer Fluid??
Post by: txtj79 on December 27, 2007, 10:58:32 pm: I got a new parts washer for Christmas. It's one of those 20 gallon ones with the pump that recirculates the fluid. Can anyone recommend a good cleaner fluid to use in it?

Thanks,

T.J.

You want a solvent that's non-flammable and safe to the environment like redneckchevy uses. Another one is Hurrisafe. Ya gotta be careful what you're breathing when you're cleanin.
