[AT] Automatic parts washer please!

[Gene Dotson]

    I have often wondered the same thing about the air jet. I think it would 
work best with the water/soap solution. Seems there would be a lot of vapor 
loss with the mineral spirits or stoddard solvent. Maybe a combination using 
Greased Lightning???
    After they outlawed the K-! solvent we were using in the Aji-Lifts, we 
started using a water solution and a soap product called "Purgitol". It 
worked wery well for grease and oil.
    The site below will take you to the Harry Miller company site and lists 
all of their supplies and products. Scroll down to Purgitol.
