[Healeys] Parts Washer Degreaser

[John Sims]

Sorry. I don't use it in a parts washer. I pour a little in a plastic pan
and use a stiff (not wire) bristle brush.

Gasoline is the one substance I would not use in a parts washer.  While
there is no danger from the pump, there is a chance of static electricity
causing a spark and kaboom.  Also gas is a really lousy cleaner as it leaves
an oily residue.

There is a writeup on a de-rust solution using molasses on the Technical
page, Miscellaneous section of my site but I have never heard it used for
degreasing. I use small amounts of gasoline outside and it has always worked
well for me.
