(1/6) > >>

John Rudd:
Any recommendations for a good degreaser fluid?

What do you use in your workshop?

I use a mix of paraffin/petrol.....probably not the best of ideas..... :lol:

awemawson:
Big stuff: Steam cleaner

Small stuff WD40 / IPA / Meths / White Spirit / Carburettor cleaner as appropriate

Swarfing:
Jizer, soak or scrub and just rinse off

I used to use paraffin, but it is so expensive now that it is actually cheaper to use petrol. Someone told me they paid £9-90 for 4 litres of paraffin at the local MOLE country store the other day!!! I need to look into a bulk supply of red diesel, and I am going to make inquiries about bulk paraffin as well. Very little difference between paraffin, kerosene and 28 sec heating oil at 30p a litre! 4 litres of paraffin @£9.90 a pop is £2.47 a litre, ie twice the price of petrol.

I keep a 1200 lire bowser of Red Diesel for tractors etc, but don't use it for degreasing as the stink is all pervading. Similarly I have a 2500 litre and two 1250 litre tanks of central heating oil, but again the smell stays with you worse than garlic on the breath   :bugeye:
