parts washer

What is the best solvent to use in a parts washer?

Do the shops have something the a shade tree at home can get and use?

I'm thinking about getting one from harbor freight, anybody have a suggestion?

thanks in advance

Re: parts washer

I would just use actual solvent. I can buy it in my town for less than gasoline and it works great.
