The motorcycle types put an old dishwasher in the shop and run bike parts
through to clean them.

I got some parts I need to clean. I have gas and acetone, and a quart or
so of mineral spirits.

What's a good solvent for cleaning the exterior of carburetors, engine
parts, etc, in a sink or tub with a parts brush that won't eat your brain
out or blow you up? I have heard kerosene. Let me ask the dumb
question, where do you buy kerosene? I would think Ace or Home Depot, as
they sell the kerosene heaters. Is that right? And is kerosene a good
cleaner?

Wish I had one of those parts washing sinks (SD?), but I'd use it about
twice a year. Sure are handy, though.
