I have heard it said, its not good to use a kitchen sink to clean parts.
So...what is wrong with picking one up from the local thrift, putting it in the garage, filling one bowl with kerosene or diesel, running water to the other, and doing your thing?
Could even drain to the burn-pile to "recycle and be green", but of course use care!
Thoughts?
Pete

Thinking about this post.
If you believe I haven't checked ground water filtration, plan on endlessly dumping crap in the soil, believe seat belts must hand themselves to you, cars must drive themselves to protect us, motorcyclists must wear seat belts, protect the people from themselves, hey, you have your opinion too!
Let it ring!
But, practically, and in reason, why not?

Don't let the wife catch you washing exhaust manifolds in the dishwasher.
Hot wash, came out lovely.

I agree with Steve.

I send wifey on a retail therapy trip and hit the dishwasher every time, COOL. I know she will be gone for 3 hours at least. I unplug the roller door remote thingy, just in case.

Not been caught in 20+ years, time will tell.
