What fluid does everyone use in their Parts Washers?

Errrr um a bit OT but how good are automatic dishwashers as spares washers?

I assume I should avoid too much salt in the detergent?

I hear they do a great job cleaning gearbox casings and other cast alloy bits.

It's the spending a good part of a day cleaning out the dishwasher you've got to watch out for.

Hee hee :D

I was thinking of buying one as a permanent parts washer.......

Then SWAMBO can't get upset

I'm not sure what's in our work unit the bloke that services it won't spill the beans. But definitely not kero or diesel but that's what's in my safety Kleen unit at home

Avtur if you can get hold of it.

Cheers,

Diesel. Leave it for a while and the dirt settles out.

For my parts washer it can't be water soluble. Water is used to clean the solvent.

Moto National Accessories - Shell Narrow Cut Kerosene

Not this specific brand but find it allround a great parts washer solvent. High flashpoint is a major reason I use it.
