[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 358308, member: 432"] What kind of fluid do you use in your parts washer? I have been using Jet A jet fuel which is a high grade kerosene in my parts washer at work for about three years. I like it because it really cleans the parts and I have hundreds of thousands of gallons available to me. The thing I don't like about it is that it is hard on the pumps. They only last about a year running it. I do use it almost every day so it does get a workout. The pump is a type of plastic that can't hold its shape over time submerged in jet fuel. I had tried another water based washer fluid one time and did not like it at all. The fluid would bead up and run off of the parts not cleaning them at all. Do you know of a type that cleans pretty well? I would like to see if my pump would last longer with a different type. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
