What about stanisol? That is what I have in my small metal parts washer (purchased at a 'truck' type service station) and it seems to work well.

I have a box fan close by that I have plugged into the same extension cord as the parts washer so there is always ventilation when I use it.

Hello Don, I have been using karosene in my lidded parts washing tank for several years, (ten or twelve), and have been pretty happy with the results. I find karosene to be a good, fairly mild, grease and grime cutter. It has a relatively low odor, doesn't seem to evaporate too quickly and it is not so flammable as some other fluids. Mostly though the karosene is an affordable option for me. I will add that proper ventilation, protective gloves, and a metal tank with it's fire suppression lid are very important to have and use.

Does anyone have thoughts on kerosene instead? I've heard it's just as effective and much safer, but it was a slightly questionable source that I heard that from.
