parts washer fluid
Grabbed a parts washer and wondering what is a good material to use. I have heard mixed review about water-based materials. Solvent based seems better. I have also heard guys using diesel fuel...I do not want to smell that crap all the time.
this is in a 2 car garage, no water heater but the propane heater will come out soon.

just buy a couple gallons of parts washer solvent from the local parts store, usually come in a metal gallon container; that's what I did when I use to have my parts washing bin
hell you can use a lot of stuff.. diesel, pure gasoline, whatever cleans, but I'd just assume use stuff that's meant to clean parts

I run a mix of Stoddard solvent and Gunk concentrate in mine, never have changed it in 20 years of use, just top off with new solvent and concentrate as needed. Almost no smell with the top closed. The Gunk in there lets you rinse the cleaned parts in water if you want, it is like a detergent.

Does your parts washer have a cover? If so the smell should not be noticeable, although I would not keep it near any open flames (you said something about a heater).
