I asked about cleaning my parts washer and got good ideas, I ended up straining the solvent through fabric and cleaning the bucket manually.
My next question is what works well? My Blaster brand solvent is as useless as soap and water. Parts soaking does nothing until I begin scrubbing with a brush. I find myself spraying the freshly soaked parts with brake cleaner.
I've been tempted to add acetone or lacquer thinner to it. I remember diesel being pretty stinky but when it's done, I could burn it on the wood pile.
