I looked for parts washing solvent, and I am finding that it is a lot

why is this the case?

Any idea what is a relatively cheap way to get about 40-50 gallons of
that stuff.

Thanks

My parts washer is homemade from a 15 gallon drum with a kitchen sink
bolted to it. I use an old 12vdc gas pump submerged in the tank by an
old coathanger. Solvent is 10 gallons of diesel fuel. Fuel that is
too dirty to clean any longer is pumped into 5 gallon gas cans and
delivered to my oil change place where it is dumped into their tank
of mystery oil.

Took several years of scrounging to get all the parts, but I'm frugal
and patient.

That is how you spell "cheap", isn't it?
