Here's a tip for cleaning your mineral sprits from your parts washer. In the winter here in Minnesota, I drain the spirts into a bucket, add about a quart of water and set it outside. The dirt and other nasty stuff will settle to the bottom in the water. When the water freezes, you can pour off the clean spirts.
In the summer, I have a metal 5 gallon bucket with a valve about 2" up from the bottom. First I put about 1 1/2" water in the bucket and then drain the spirits in on top. I just let it sit overnight and crack the valve to drain off the clean fluid. Don't open the vale too far or you will get water and dirt in the clean fluid.
Anyone else got any tips?
