Solvent tank

I know I asked this once before but now I can’t find the old post. What are y’all putting in your solvent tanks for cleaning parts? I have to refill mine.

If you sva your old solvent and let it set a while it will settle out and is good to use again . It will still be colored and not clear again but most of the debris will be settled out. I then pour off the top. then pour rest into smaller diameter can to settle out then after pouring that off dump the rest. Usually burn it. Can do this several times. I have been using the same old solvent like that for 10 years. I am now down to just a couple inches in the bottom of a 5 gallon pail. I keep covered till when I want to use it.

We have Mineral Spirits in the vat at work.

FYI: Don't send the new guy to Lowes to get more: The 'odorless' mineral spirits is NOT the same stuff, it leaves a milky residue on everything you wash that you will then have to clean off.
