Petrol?
We use white spirit for cleaning most of our stuff in the ultrasonic.

I clean carbs with cellulose thinners
Whats wrong with and a tiny drop of washing up liquid? Remember the cleaning action is from the micro cavitation on the surfaces rather than the muck being soluable into the working fluid.
Depends whether you want to get the parts wet with water or not.

that was the point: I didn't fancy getting water in 'em.
I'll probably use paraffin, I've got plenty of that.

Never used one but see Maplin have one in the flyer I got today.
Are they any good or just a gimmick?

Ultrasonic cleaner is a very handy gadget. I used it a bit back to clean an inkjet printhead and make it work again.

I was bloody glad I had it, and it worked. It's one thing getting a second-hand A3 printer for 100 quid, and quite another if it needed another
100 quid on a printhead which is discontinued...Join the Discussion
