What solvent are people running in their parts washers? It doesn't seem possible to get varsol any more. What do people use instead? Mineral spirits? Degreasol?

Yes but it has a high flashpoint....add water to it and even though they don't mix (the water goes to the bottom) it raises the flash point even higher. Adding water also turns the dirt into a goo, that can be lifted right off of the bottom of the tank. |
