After years of using a pan on the floor to wash parts I have decided to go buy an inexpensive parts washer. I thought I had one all picked out until I read that the pump is specified as follows: "110

More likely, IMO, the pump will be attacked by some solvents and fail early. That's what happened to the cheapo parts washer I got from Enco some years ago, the pump only lasted about 6 months of ve

Aren't there some good cleaning agents that are water-soluble. Agitene or Agitene sticks in my mind. Donald. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.n

Agitene and Super Agitene are petroleum based according to their MSDS. Graymills does make a product call Aquatine and Super Aquatine that are water soluble, but given the cost of the regular stuff,

There are water-based solutions available, though as David said, Agitene and Super Agitene are not among them. How "good" they are is a different question. From what I've heard, they don't work as w

They tend to need heat to work well. If you can keep a tank at 120F or so, plain old dishwasher detergent (the powered stuff you put in the machine) and water do a fine job, better than room-temperat

Maybe I use the wrong detergent then. I tried sticking some parts in the dishwasher (which heats the water to around 165F) along with a triple dose of Cascade, and they still didn't get very clean.

Must not have had any original Ford paint on there, or maybe they changed formulations by the Model A. My 1916 Model T had some original paint on the fenders and the drivetrain components (the ones
