Parts washer dumb question

How do these work?.. is it just a little tub you can use to wash grease off your parts or is there more to it?

Well mine is a 3' wide X 3' wide and about 1' deep square metal tub with hinged lid with light that sits on top up a 20 gallon drum, which has a pump that sucks kerosene (or mineral spirits ect.) through a posable tube into the tub on top which of course you use to wash the parts, then has a drain with a filter that the kerosene goes back into the 20 gallon drum.

Had to give the specs, not all are the same...he he

BTW it really helped with my engine rebuild!

ever seen a dishwasher in a house? mine works the same way as long as my wife isn't around, actually mine is a dish washer in the house. i don't really care for the solvent types. i use my power washer or the car wash, brake clean, wire brush on my bench grinder or die grinder as well as the dish washer.

1.) Bath Tub (Worse thing I've done was a trans casing)
2.) Sink
3.) Yeap 'ede' I've done the dish washer a couple of times.
4.) Driveway with intake/carb cleaner. (It's dirt! come-of-thee-go-of-thee)

I'm a little more conservative now, cause I'm a home owner with a septic, but when I was renting a home in the big city !!! It would of been hell to be the sewage plant manager
