Parts washer

I've always used mineral spirits in my parts washer. Getting pretty grungy and needs a change. But its getting pretty expensive around here,around 10 to as much 15 bucks a gallon. Anybody got alternatives that might work as good in a parts washer? Thanks

 

I use Varsol, but it isn't cheap (in Canada anyway).

 

We just use stove oil(kerosene)

 

if its getting grungy filter it , we ran filters on the one at the shop and it stayed clean for years and we only had to top off what evaporated . we used a hydraulic filter as it will pull the most crud out and also will hold a high pressure . finding a pump that can push the stuff thru is another story . but they also sell a filter sock that your regular pump can push thru and it works well also .

 

I use plain mineral spirits. peace

 

We used to use straight Diesel. When I got my own parts cleaner, that's what I put in it. Works great.
