Title: Best parts cleaner and capacity
Post by: clipper on September 08, 2013, 01:27:19 PM
It's my birthday soon and have decided that I need a parts washer for the work I will be doing to the ZX7R and two engines between now and next summer

So my first question is whether a 20 gallon unit on a frame is large enough or do I need bigger?

And the last question is whether the ones from ebay are good enough?

Look forward to your replies

20 gallons will be more than adequate for hobby use mate.

The only thing i'd add is a 40 gallon one when not in use can have a chunk of wood put onto  the closed lid and it'll
double as a handy bench.
