What fluid are people using?
What’s most economical in a 25l washer?
Mostly engine parts

25L for £30
Use it neat in the parts washer or diluted to 20% to spray direct on.

We have one that fits on a 205 drum, 15 gallons kero and 1/2 Galonish petrol, been using it for as long as I can remember, stuff dries quicker than with just kerosene or a lot of degreasers & no chance of rust
We also do work at the quarries and collect a couple of old Volvo air cleaners, about 18 inch by 10inch single end the return from tray goes into the filter this keeps the fluid clean for months if not years.
Also you can lift the filter out with all the crap in it saves cleaning
Don't forget to blow the stone dust out the filter from inside out, that's the worst bit

5L Screwfix no nonsense degreaser and 5L traffic film remover, balance of 20L water to fill line. pH of 10, so quite alkaline.

I siphon a bit of kerosene out of my heating oil tank and use that.
Me too...
Tried some parts washer fluid once, it got diluted with water (or heating oil, not sure). Anyway it turned int a gloopy emulsion, had to scoop it out, I wasn’t amused. So now, heating oil in my ex hotel dishwasher with multistage pump underneath it.
