I bought my fluid shortly after starting this thread and my fluid is still good after almost 5 years. My county lets homeowners dispose of 50 gallons of stuff like this a year appt no cost. This can size is probably 3x bigger in volume, I just wanted to error on the side of low restriction and lots of capacity for sediment. It might use a PH5 Fram filter (forgot exactly which now) which is a common big block V8 oil filter as I recall. There is a "remote oil filter adapter" you can buy from Amazon, Summit, ebay, probably all made in the same factory. Would like to have an even finer one made of something approaching "window screening" except stainless steel.future project Bent up a little "pan" from the leftover scrap to corral small parts of various assemblies. Ordered stainless punched plate in 2 sheets from McMaster Carr, welded to 304SS support bars (1" x 1/4" flat stock) and trimmed with the Beverly Shear. Machined threads off OD of bronze, due to limited thickness, this was silver brazed in place to the steel housing, had to clock it correctly to accept the hose.įinal assembly, the silver brazing noted above, some tig welding to bracketry and the center post is also welded in place.Īlso had no grating inside of the washer, which was not ideal. ![]() Machined 1"-16 thread to match up to ID of oil filter, its tapped from the backside, forgot if its 3/8" or 1/2" NPT. Steel slug machined round on OD, used machining center to open up circular slot, cross drills connect it to bore from the OD. On the odd occasion we do get something truly nasty that has to be manually cleaned rather than run through the spray cabinet, as much of the goop is scraped / wire brushed off prior to hitting the solvent tank. We do not do any maintenance work in our shop, so we run our solvent for quite some time as most of the parts that go through the manual parts cleaners already tend to be fairly free of dirt. So once I was satisfied that the PCS1000 worked as well in the new manual parts washer, I let my Safety Kleen contract run out and went with PCS1000 in the other unit as well. Might not be an issue if you use the parts you just cleaned the same day or next, but if it sits a week or two, then beware. BUT the downside to less residue, the PCS1000 cleaned parts definitely seem slightly more susceptible to flash rusting. The PCS is virgin as far as I can tell and does a much better job cleaning, leaves less residue than what we had from Safety Kleen. The Safety Kleen stuff we had was one of their recycled products, the typical stuff they sell to everyone. I like it better than what we had from Safety Kleen. Think I paid $30-$35 (always use the $5off$25 coupon on their website). When we added a second manual parts washer I filled it with the Crown PCS1000 from TSC. every year the contract price would go up and I got fed up. ![]() We had Safety Kleen service my shop for years.
