[DeTomaso] Techno question: Home parts washers

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp.]

Hi Chuck,

I have unit from Harbor Freight. Floor model 24 X 18 or so. I got there 
water base cleaner. I used antifreeze mix rather then water to keep it going 
in the winter. It worked like crap and rusted parts of the tank. I will try 
Fred's mineral spirits next week. It has a small pump and works ok. It was 
around $80.

The one we had in school would hold 2 V8 blocks and had an air agitator in 
it. It worked great. I spent a lot of time in there. It used all the good 
solvent the kind that caused brain damage. Look what it did to me....
