[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 575779, member: 4238"] I went ahead and ordered the 20 gallon parts washer from Harbor Freight. Using the 20% off coupon it was $79.99. It was eligible for their standard $6.99 ground shipping. I could have driven to the local store and picked it up, but right now that's a 45 minute drive each way for me. I can't make that drive in my truck for $6.99. They're opening a store just a few miles from where I work, but it's not going to be open until later this month. I'm still undecided on what to use in it. I need to do some more research on that. I'll post up what I decide on. I'm leaning toward some version of a diesel or kerosene mix because it's a lot cheaper and will be a lot less of a hassle to dispose of when it needs to be changed. Here's a little article I found on adding a screw on oil filter to these to help improve the life of the solvent and the pump. http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2009-12/build-parts-washer-filter I think I already have most of the stuff in the garage to put that together.
