Last year I switched to water based cleaner. IF you use heat with it, it works great. Residue has more to do with how clean the cleaner is in my opinion. With water based stuff, you can always take the parts outside and hose them off after washing. Biggest problem with water based cleaner - corrosion. You gotta get right on it with WD 40, etc. Fastest 300

For an open tank any traditional solvent will work...I use mineral spirits. (paint thinner) The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway
