Brian,
I used an aqueous (water-mix) concentrate made by Hurri-Safe and
sold by Northern Hydraulic (where I got my parts washer).
It does not cut grease as well as Varsol or Kerosene and it loosened
the paint in the parts washer tub. For what it's worth, the instructions
with the made-in-China parts washer said the tub was painted to
prevent corrosion until it was put in use by the purchaser. In other words,
the paint is not expected to stand up to any solvent or the usual
wear and tear inside the parts washer.
Also, the pump failed, not UL approved, but you get what you pay for...
