    Parts washer solvent

    Wish I could remember. I checked google images to see if something would tweak my memory, but I got nothing. In our case, I installed the pump a couple inches above the water level, so it still had 6 or more inches of varsol above it. It definitely did not draw hard enough to stir up the...

    Parts washer solvent

    Is your parts washer pump compatible with petroleum based solvents? When I went to replace my 20 year old failed pump, I was surprised how many pumps were for water based products only. For example, the replacement pump from Princess Auto retails for almost $45, and states not for solvent...

    Fire....Prepare for it.

    Last place I worked had a hot work permit system they were very anal about, for good reason. Things like removing dust, moving combustibles back 30 feet, having an extinguisher within arms reach, etc before the work even started. Then monitor the area for an hour after hot work is done. It...

    Ontario meetup, April 6

    At this time, I am interested in attending, assuming weather and life co-operate.
