I recently got a used parts washer & was searching online & here on our site for solvent options. I was going to use kerosene or mineral spirits. I came across a couple posts about using B100 biodiesel made from soy.The cheapest mineral spirits I could find was $7 a gallon , I needed 15 gallons. I couldn't find B100 here in Michigan but I did find it in Pittsburgh for $2.65 a gallon. I was going there so I picked some up. So far so good. It doesn't smell too bad & it's easy on your hands. As far as cleaning it works pretty good. I need to find something really cruddy to give it a tougher test. The washer has some crud stuck to the inside that regular diesel would not remove & the B100 is dissolving it. Here's a link to a nationwide biodiesel locator map,if anyone is interested. See ya!Mark
