Parts washer fluid options - and a possibly cheap 20 gal unit

I just bought a 10L ultrasonic cleaner and while looking around for some degreaser to dump in it...I saw half a squirt bottle of "AWESOME" on the shelf so I poured that in with about 2 gallons of water and holy shit...this stuff is pretty damn good. I headed to the 99 cent store in the morning to get more and they have it in gallon jugs for $4 each. The best degreaser I'd found previously was OilEaters, and this stuff runs circles around that.

Give it a shot...it's cheap and works.

Looks like Lowes has a too, but a bit more expensive. https://www.lowes.com/pd/LA-s-Total...q3SkdkA48DcT7Zb52gsaAgk9EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
 
Awesome is a fantastic cleaner, it takes the black streaks off of my white trailers that nothing else will touch.

Waterbased ones rusted the hell out of the last two I had

We tried using the cheap soap in the parts washer at work and it rusted the bottom out. The cuda brand "app-1000" shit is expensive and harder to get but its got something in it that keeps the rust away.

it looks and smells like the zep flash floor soap but it is different
 
It's been replaced by the Cuda 1993. $160 for a 5 gallon pail and "not for use on soft metals"
 
Best upgrade is plumb a big spin on fuel filter. The nasty stuff will be filtered to new condition. We used a Mack fuel filter housing bolted to the leg. Spin a new one on when the flow slowed down, but it wasn't too often even with heavy use.

yeah they make a different one for aluminum
but we just use the "unsafe" stuff and even on cylinder heads and manifolds left in there to run for hours it doesn't pit, just scours it really nice and bright

probably just causes troubles while anodizing or something
