  Diesel fuel for parts washer solvent

While I hardly take all the warnings I see as gospel, this is what the MSDS sheet for the ULS diesel we get delivered here says about it;

"Causes severe skin irritation. Aspiration hazard if swallowed. Can enter lungs and cause damage. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Wash thoroughly after handling."

Doesn't seem like the kind of thing I'd want to use.

I certainly would not run it in anything of mine after use as a cleaner either! Even a 'good' filter won't capture the fine particles it will have picked up after use as a cleaner.

I'd stick with something designed for the job like Varsol or one of the specialty cleaners like SafetyKleen's products. MOst of the auto places, Pep Boys, Menards, UAP, NAPA, etc., also carry it.

Best of luck.

"Varsol" is a trademark of Exxon's Chemical Division. I learned something today, according to the Exxon website it is just a variant of mineral spirits! It has been chemically altered though from the 'standard' stuff to greatly reduce its rate of evaporation.

It also says it's widely available since it's "prodcuced globally under license to ExxonMobil".

Best of luck.
