That's a lot safer than gasoline...kerosine...or diesel....
I'm guessing the,ATF also slows down the evaporation...

Slapper...... We found parts get jammed between the paddles and damaged, Sooo...... We now use the concrete mixer, Much easier on all parts !!!



















We've got two of this style;



And one of this style;




Try filling all of these up with some high dollar fancy pants cleaning solvent !!!

I can tell you guys never used a partswasher service company....
They come in every 12 weeks to service and topoff and charge bout $125...whether it needs it or not..
If they have to change the fluid...its bout $225...really...
The whole deal is about hazardous waste... who owns it..and how it is disposed of..
There are some crazy fines if the EPA ever walks into your business and you don't have documentation...
For instance...if your used oil drum or used fuel drum is not properly labeled with the sticker from the recycling company you use..
Its a $1200 fine on each drum....seen it happen...its not good to piss those people off...

Years ago we had Safety Clean...... Now we have Restro Clean, Not to worry..... All waste and fuel storage tanks (not drums) are labeled.....
