Hi guys,

Thinking of whipping up my own little parts washer, but not sure what to use as a pump. I was after something cheap, or better, something I might be able to salvage from some old equipment,

Has anyone made a parts washer?. What do you use as a pump?

I have an air compressor here, but I need to buy an air hose for it. I think I have one of those guns that attach to it, where you fill with cleaning agent, and spray, but was thinking of something a little less high pressure, a little more "doing the dishes".

Regarding the cleaning part. What 'de-greaser/cleaning agent' do you guys find works best? I've use different things in the past (aerosol parts cleaner, dish-washing liquid, CT14 de-greaser, petrol/diesel), though some kinda work, nothing really destroys the thick greasy/oily build up. I try using a tooth brush, which helps to some degree, but it always clogs up, and there's always a layer of greasy/oily dirt on the parts I can't seem to remove. So if there's any chemical that just really breaks it down so I can easily hose off, feel free to post smile

Thoughts ?
