Subject: [Shop-talk] alternative fluids for parts washers
Hi,
I have a 45L parts washer and considering what fluid to use. Usually
kerosine,
diesel or petroleum based derivatives are used, but I have some health
considerations because of the nasty chemicals inside. Especially the
aromats,
benzenes and olefinen are no use for cleaning, but unsafe to breathe.
Does anyone have any experience with other cleaning agents, such as liquid
soap, vinegar, cleaning soda?
I tried to use the dishwasher (they clean with lye) but it might take 4 runs
to do something decent for engine parts, and you have to make sure that the
SO
doesn't catch you.
Richard
