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.

This doesn't answer the question asked, but many businesses are using
outfits like this to supply the stuff and haul it away:

if you are talking 40-50 gallons, you are getting into the territory
where the EPA/DEP might get interested. It might be good to have paperwork.

When I had a motorcycle shop in the mid-70s, I had a contract with
Safety Kleen. It was pretty cheap, and they would just come and swap
the (20 gal.) tank once a week.
