I have about 15 gallons of mineral spirits in my parts washer. I scrape off 
as much grease as I can befor going to the parts washer.  The MS has been in 
there for a few years with no problems...........................MO

Dennis,

I bought an inexpensive 20 gallon parts tank 2 years ago and used a water 
based solvent.  I don't recommend it.  That solvent promoted corrosion in 
the tank pump, and it didn't work very well, either.  I finally drained it 
all out, and for now the tank is empty. Having the tank is nice and 
convenient, though.  I just need to decide on what to put in it that will 
work better.  I've been using mineral spirits in the mean time - just a jug 
in small amounts - not in the parts tank.  I don't know that I want the tank 
sitting full of mineral spirits when not in use.
