[AT] Automatic parts washer please!

[Gene Dotson]

    I have always thought a fellow could make a hot water cleaning tank by 
using a steel drum and use a tank type block heater to heat the water. Just 
plumb it in below the water line and discharge near the top of the water. 
Would probably need a fine screen on the inlet to keep out the particles 
that would plug the heater.
    I use a 5 gallon bucket of water in the shop for hand washing and often 
thought it would be more effective if it had warm water. Just need to find a 
steel bucket to make this up. I use a spray bottle with a mixture of 2/3 
water and 1/3 Dawn dishwashing soap for hand washing.
