[Vwdiesel] Parts Cleaning

> So what do you guys use, and how does it work for you.


  For years it was a gallon jug of gas on a shelf and an empty 4lb canned 
ham can with a parts brush that someone had used against something they'd 
recently welded.  When I got to high school I made about a 2' cube tank on 
legs with a two position tray.  Tried making a pump from an old hand mixer 
and V-8 oil pump but those pumps spew around the shaft and I didn't want 
to take time to make it work in-tank.  Cheapskate orchard finally sprung 
for an acutal solvent tank on a 35 gallon barrel type.  A friend had gotten 
one 
just before that and for maintaining it and doing some mechanic work for 
him, it was same as mine to use as well  
  Once you have a pump type solvent tank you'll kick yourself for 
procrastinating so long!  Just be sure you suspend the pump a few inches
from the bottom, use a 5 gallon bucket instead of the barrel if possible, and 

put about a half to a gallon of water in it.  It helps seperate the stuff 
once 
it settles and keeps your solvent cleaner longer.  :)
