I haven't seen simple green paint yet. I don't use a candle to illuminate the area when I clean with gas...or fill my lawn mower or put gas in my tank. I have lots of flammable fluids around my house. Members have recommended lye and many solvent types that are dangerous if not careful and you didn't say anything. Kerosene, carb cleaner, mineral spirits, turpentine all have been mentioned, all dangerous. When I say what I do it is obvious the Stovebolt is not recommending it. I get the feeling someone is singling me out for some reason. A simple recommendation that: it is not safe, should be presented as a personal response/opinion just like mine is. Many, many people still use gas to clean parts. Many members do. Big boys do it. Farmers do it, ranchers do it. Safety is always first. Welding is dangerous if you don't use a helmet. Nothing said in posts by members is a recommendation by Stovebolt.com. Everybody knows that. It's a forum with experienced and novice truck people and all in between.
