Parts washer

[crazyal]

I got a 40 gallon parts washer from work that was never used. I'm wondering what people use for solvent in them. I've been told everything from name brand water based cleaners to things like diesel and Kerosine. So what do you use and how do you like it? Secondly if I go with a water based solution does it need to be drained out in the fall so it doesn't freeze?

In ours we use diesel and add transmission fluid and/or marvel mystery oil!

I got a few cans of parts washer solvent from Advanced Auto. I think it is just stoddard solvent.
