Diesel vs. kerosene

[Anonymous]

I used a special blend of Hexane, Isopropyl alcohol, and Methanol.
it dissolves the gunk and leaves everything nice, clean and residue free.
it is also extremely flammable so you have to keep it far away from sparks and open flames.

Sometimes you can get things too clean. Metal has pores that absorb oil. If you remove all of the oil from these pores it is best to then immerse the part in hot oil to again fill the pores before using.

This is one of the reasons gasoline should not be used to clean parts. Aside from the fact that it's dangerous, it removes residual oil from the porous metal.

I'm assuming, of course, that the part will be used in oil for friction reduction.
