Has anyone used the PSC 1000 parts cleaner from Tractor Supply? If so, how well does it clean parts?

I'm sure that would work just dandy. I've got a local chemical producer you just pull up to the pump and they have solvent at the pump. Just fill up like half a home depot bucket.

Also helps if you have a raised chicken wire screen in the bottom so the filter isn't sitting in the bottom on all the gunk.

I'm going to buy a couple of the 5 gallon drums tomorrow at Tractor Supply. I've always used water based cleaners for the initial cleaning, a second quick cleaning with water and dish soap, and then blowing off the water with my compressor. I hate cleaning parts, especially engine parts. I'm trying to find a cleaner that works well and cut out the water and compressor steps.

Old sprockets at the bottom work well to keep dirt on the bottom.

It comes out to be about 10 bucks a gal.  Cheaper than the Walmart brand charcoal lighter I use to clean my filters and chain with.  I may get a can.

Used it for years in a harbor freight parts washer. Worked well.

Thank you. When you used it, did it dry/evaporate completely or leave residue?

Doesn’t completely evaporate. I would wipe things off or use an air gun on the compressor before re assembling.

I have always liked diesel fuel.  It's cheaper than most cleaners and does a great job.

I've used it for years, best stuff I have found for the price. It does not evaporate at all, it's basically like diesel/kerosene. I use it in my parts washer, then a quick spray with brake cleaner to get the residual off and help evaporate and then blow it off with the air gun
