I have a 15L Vevor. I never put anything dirty into the tank itself. I always put my dirty thing in some kind of bucket with cleaner. I then place the bucket into the tank and fill up between the tank and bucket up to the water line on the Vevor. It makes cleanup so much easier and you can just have buckets of different types of cleaner ready to go...and the Vevor never gets dirty. The sound waves and heat travel right through any liquid and cleans it just the same. This also allows you to clean things that are taller than the Vevor having the bucket water line limited only by how tall the bucket is. Despite my Vevor being much smaller than yours, I was able to successfully clean an entire 5 speed lawnmower transmission and clamshell for a rebuild using a tall cat litter bucket.
Good tip! Cheers, I will try this out next time I clean it out
Small parts you can put is a zip lock bag topped up with water and CT18. The tank itself just hot water the tank stayed clean that way.
Hot soapy water is the go. Wont hurt anything but will take a bit longer. I have used soap ranging from dish soap, washing powder, simple Green, even the prescribed fluid and they all work well. For really tough gunk I soak them first in a bucket for a few days to soften it up. Usually with a solvent based cleaner if I have time.
If you think it isnt working just put a bit of aluminum foil it should have holes in it after 20 minutes if all is ok.
Just got mine and seen your video while i was waiting, can confirm it works a bloody treat on caked on engine parts!
Potassium hydroxide and dish soap works a treat, we use it in our industrial size ultrasonic cleaners.
Cheers mate Ill give that a try!
I use an ultrasonic cleaner at work to clean scuba internals, and we use an approved dish soap (it's just mild dish soap) and water. Coz it's scuba, everything is already clean but it might be worth a go. I'm looking at one for home for my BMW that we are working on. This sealed the deal that they are worth the money
I use Pine-Sol household cleaner, did an awesome job cleaning my nasty SBF timing cover and dissolved the corrosion in the bolt holes that broke off in. When i pulled it out i was like, did the bolts dissolve too then found them when draining it out. Parts smelled good too lol
Nice solution
Hey dude I've worked in a mechanic shop dude this is a mechanics wet dream. No exaggeration. Its called Torrent parts washer from Lawson Products
Shock treatment degreaser same brand as what your using is awesome I use it at work bout an inch in the bottom of a 1.5ltr spray bottle
Yeh shock treatment is what we use to degrease pretty much everything. Up until we got this unit its all we used. It's very caustic though and will etch alloy if not careful aswell. Them rocker post rails at the end of this video had been soaked/blasted/soaked in shock treatment I don't even know how many times, but this unit still got them cleaner than the shock treatment did!
We still use the shock treatment for cleaning engine bays and engines prior to disassembly etc, great stuff.
Loving your Vids guy... Just curious of when the upper level carpentry/building is going to happen?!! Cheers, Kym. Ps I love Mechanical/Carpentry/Building etc lol... 🙂
neat. and it's not that expensive. might grab one of those when I'm done spending all my monies on car parts.
NOTE ****
for the best results DO NOT allow basket or parts to rest on bottom or sides as it interferes with the sonic movement.
ALSO **** The sonic waves do not etch anything . If anything is causing etching it’s your type of cleaner used . Liquid dish soap works perfectly fine
Sorry to not make that clear enough in the video, but yes 100% the etching is a result of the solvents not the sonic process.
What I have noticed, on materials like that sometimes there are weird bright spots and what I've read is that these are craters/rips. Is that true?
Ct-18 what does "quite a bit" mean for a ratio? I'm guessing full strength?
Will a reduced amount of ct18 work due to being not as strong?
Got a smaller version of one of these for the misso's jewellery, wish I could do parts in it but I'd be dead haha
help please. I used 400ml of CT18 in the a 30 litres tank at 50 degrees and 30 minutes on SU carbies that are not anywhere near as bad as your old piston and very disappointed with the end result, compared to what yours did on the piston. What am I doing wrong????
My cam covers might just fit in there 😉
I want to start business like this, cleaning autoparts using ultrasonic cleaning. Wkuld u give me advices? What detergents should i use? I have the idea but i am still fathering info
My advice would be to look into wet bead blasting. Its the most effective and least abrasive way to clean up parts. There is a huge demand for it amongst restorations etc. It would be a great little business.
Use petrol in a resealable plastic bag.
I prefer a glass pickle jar when using gasoline as a solvent.
@@ZachComa Isn't that possibly causing it to explode? I read that there shouldn't be any flammable liquids in an ultrasonic cleaner ever. Or am I wrong?
@@pr1sm55 I don't use heat, just sound. But, flammable liquids in the tank by themselves would make a ton of dangerous vapor no doubt. In sealed containers it's fine.
