parts cleaner

admin

Can someone give me some instructions on building a parts cleaner from a 55 gal. drum.  I will be using a used stainless steel sink.I already have a submersible pump.   I need to know how & what to do from here such as how to hook lines up & pump.  Any help would be appreciated.
Reply:What are you using as a solvent? Is the pump ok with that? Just asking
Reply:using mineral spirits & the pump should be ok with the solvent
Reply:OK in what way? The solvent may not affect the inards of the pump, but I believe you want a pump that is safe with a flammable liquid.AKA intrinsically rated not to spark and explode.
