I see what Randall does (or might do) with the fouled petroleum based
cleaning solution. WHat do the rest of you do? I used to use paint
thinner but have switched to kerosene - easier to buy in bulk and I keep
it on hand for heating the garage in the shoulder seasons. I would change
out the solvent more frequently if I had a good way to dispose of it. I
have also thought of how I could filter the solvent to wash with less
dirty solvent. I've taken a 5 gal can of oily, sandy kerosene to the
local household waste disposal drop off at the county. Not certain that
they are expecting oil and dirt contaminated kerosene when I drop it off.
I've tried works as well as plain old diesel fuel (or home heating
> oil). ..... but diesel works without all that fuss.
