I have mineral spirits in my parts washer. Before I had the parts washer, I used kerosine in a 5 gallon bucket. I've also used water soluble degeaser, but not in the parts washer. My assessment is that the water soluble stuff will cut the grease faster, but I am not able to use that in my washer because the shop is not heated. I don't think the kerosine would work at all in my parts washer because the viscosity is too high. Even with mineral spirits, when cold, the pump does not want to start. My parts washer is 30 gallon drum type from Northern tool, the one that has the 250 gph pump on it. I do note that Northern now offers a heater for the parts washers. I think that would be OK to use with the water soluble washer fluid, but I'd be hesitant to use it with mineral spirits or kerosine. However, the solvent(whatever it is) is going to do a lot better job when it's warm.
