Just bought a used parts cleaner. Any recommendations on the solution? Flammable/
nonflammable/biodegradable? Thanks prior

I'm using a bio-degradable product from Northern tool and Supply. Works, and you do not have the fumes.

I use the real deal, a petroleum based solvent like we used in the old days. It'll eat your hands up but it's still the best solution (no pun intended).

I found a bulk oil distributor that sells it by the gallon right from a pump. Sweet.

I'm using the citrus bio-degradable stuff, as my garage is part of my house. I like it, a little pricey for 5 gal. but it cuts with water 1:1 up to 10:1 (I'm using 5:1). Go in with a buddy on the cost and divide it up.
