Carb Cleaner
« on: 19 February 2017, 19:00:56 »
Is there any solvent that's even halfway as effective as carb' cleaner that's available in bulk for a more economical price point than afor mentioned?  :-\

I wouldn't be using anything from Halfords to remove crabs... best to see your GP or local clinic...

Cellulose thinners. 5 litres will last ages and cost about a tenner. Will kill crabs too, if you can stand the pain :o

Any use?

Bought the 4 pack of the very same from Egay the other day. Only got 1 left. Not really cost effective when you're fighting years of neglect.

Does it cut through burnt oil more effectively than diesel? And will it eat Polypropelene?

Than diesel? Oh yes, it's quite an aggressive solvent.


As for polypropelene, I don't know. But I've used it for years on all sorts of parts without any problems, so it's probably OK. But just as the instructions for any effective cleaner state, try it on an unimportant area first :y
