Most machine shops use a "Hotsy", which is heated dip tank with agitation and chemicals. Small auto shops use a "SafetyKleen" style wash tank. Harbor Freight has knock off safetykleen style tanks and sometimes tanks can be found on CL. |

That is for solvent, mild cleaning. The Hotsy is better. Heated vats, basically its water and Red Devil lye and a heating coil. Not sure about aluminum but there is a separate chemical for that. This was my job in Phoenix while I went to school.....remove 1 or 2 engines a day, then dip everything in the Vats. Mostly American V8 engines....so chains and pulleys were used. Talk about a Hot and Dirty Job. I loved the days there was nothing to pull.....I got to Bore the blocks and help in the rebuild room......much cleaner and felt more professional. |
