Re[2]: Parts cleaning options

     Varsol is a better cleaner and more tolerant of exposure to sparks 
     than either gas or kero...get a parts cleaning tank from Harbor 
     Freight (about $100) and do it right.

     I would go with Kerosene... It degreases very well, its not 
     nearly as volitile as gasoline. When it gets REALLY dirty take it
     to a local jiffy lube or gas station and they will send it on with 
     the recycled petroleum distillates...
