I'm embarrassed to even ask this as I know it has been beat to death,
but I finally am ready to order a parts washer (a barrel mount, 30 gal,
200 GPH unit from Northern Hydraulic), and need to buy 5-20 gallons of
solvent.

Anyway, could someone fill me in on the advantages, disadvantages, costs
and sources for the most commonly used parts washer solvents:

- mineral spirits
- kerosene
- Agitene
- diesel
- others?

Thanks, and I promise this will be the last time I ever ask anything
about parts washer solvents again.
