Cleaning parts

I saw a post awhile back about how people clean parts and thought I would add my .02 worth..
I picked up an old sink - with the drain still on it. Then I set it up so it was at a comfortable height with some used wood I had laying around. Then I put a 5 gallon bucket under the drain and got ahold of a cheap - under $20 submersible pond pump and put a length of plastic fish tank hose from it up over and into the sink.
I put a gallon of Super Clean into the 5 gallon bucket - get it cheap at Wally World, and then added a half a gallon of water to it, plug the pump in and away I go!! The super clean is the best stuff I have found for cleaning - it does dry the heck out of your hands though and it tends to leave a film on whatever you clean - but clean water from the hose seems to take care of that problem. I use this in a spray bottle for degreasing everything under my units and all engine compartments too.
Cheap and easy parts cleaner!!!
Hope this helps someone,
Dan

My "sink" is an old BBQ, one of those made from 1/2 of a 55 gallon oil drum, sliced top to bottom.
Come to think about it, you could do the same thing with an old webber BBQ if you have one of those around. (you would have to plug the bottom vent holes and get it "water tight")
