Parts soaking...
#22
there should be nothing wrong with putting your parts in a rubbermade type container with Varsol and letting them soak and clean, for a temp one time cleaning this would be a great setup. If it were me i wouldn't be spending the money on a parts cleaner unless you are going to use it all the time. Just my $0.02. Just make sure your used cleaner gets disposed of properly.

+1.... Mine has Castrol water base cleaner in it. (and it works rather well) As a matter of fact. I'm in the garage right now and the lid is closed with a blanket/sheet over it, posting from my laptop that is sitting on top. I'd give you more info, but the empty 5 gallon containers are behind the Mustang, and I can't get to them.
