MEK? That's some solvent right there! I always worry about going up in flames and making Jay Lenno look like an amature.Methylethylclorobadshit can't be beat, except at the risk of one's health ----

This is what we have at work.I use a heated parts cleaner tank with a bio-degreaser I beleive it’s called ozzy juice. The system works great being heated. I’ve purchased the ozzy juice refills at oreillys.
i remember when Brownell's was selling that stuff back in the 80's and beforeTrichloroethane 1,1,1,Tech has been "outlawed" in the States for years. But it can still be found with a little digging. The military still uses it, but under tightly controlled circumstances. It is extremely hazardous to work around, and if heated will remove air from water. I have high exposure from way back when it first replaced carbon tetrachloride. Just a couple of breaths will give a hell of a buzz. But it penetrates the metal, something no other solvent will do.
High temperatures (welding, etc) and water must be avoided. Either will generate phosgene gas.
