Owning a diesel Vanagon has taught me the value of diesel fuel as a degreaser. Pan of diesel deep enough to immerse the joint into. Let soak overnight. Use parts cleaning brush for the really crusty stuff. Advantages?? Not anywhere as volatile as lacquer thinner and many other solvents. Much easier on the hands. (doesn't melt the gloves.) Jim |
