Where to get 10+ gals of solvent / Parts wash
My wife just bought me a 20 gallon parts wash from Harbor Freight.
Does anyone know where to get 10 or more gallons of solvent or WD-40 cheap? I'm think two 5 gallon buckets. I filled it with 10 gallons of water and it worked great and stayed at a high enough level.
Buying in indiviudual 1 gal containers gets real expensive real quick. I'd like to keep the cost down around $50-$75 if possible.
THanks,
David

This is the largest WD-40 I found... at a UK site unfortunately http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=90421
Ebay might have something too, worth a look.

There is no Advanced Auto around me in LA. THe closest being in Calexico (border of California & Mexico).
I tried calling all of the Kragens around the LA area, and none of them have Oil Eater any more, nor can they order it , They do have Simple Green in teh 5 gallon size for $38. so I might check into that, but I wouldnt think Water based cleaners/solvents would work good.
Thanks everyone,

I wouldn't use a water-based solvent in a parts cleaner either.
I would try calling all the auto parts stores in your area. Maybe just go through the phone book. If that fails, you could probably order that stuff somewhere online.
I'll see what I can find online and get back to you.

Kerosene works quit well as a solvent for cleaning. It smells much better than diesel fuel and is probably safer.
