Default That should keep your hands clean....

Nice idea to relocate the pump.... the longer the cleaning fluid gets to sit in your 5 gallon bucket the more the dirt while settle and give you clean fluid the next time you use it as long as your sucker pipe is not too low in the bottom of the bucket.

If you ever intend to use the sheet metal shelf with the provided brackets....make sure you tack weld some 3/4 in. angle on the underside of the shelf otherwise it will bend and sag first time you use it.

On the minus side, at -25 C the cleaning liquid really really gets cold on your hands.....and cold fluid does not clean good....... on certain pieces, i.e. drums, a rinse in gasoline will leave a drier surface. I collect the old gasoline fluid and let it settle in windshield containers..... pour off the top 80% for re use.

All and I mean all combustible fluid, engine oil, tranny oil, parts cleaning fluid, skunky old gasoline, paint thinner, axle oil, gets saved in Lucifer,s bladder and the goo gets recycle in Lucifer for added heat.

Stay warm Jordan!!!!
