So far I've used mine for only cleaning carburetors. Simple Green and water was used per the instructions that came with the unit. I kept cleaning and cleaning until the cleaner would run for one hour without darkening the solution. I must say the first few times the solution will darken in less than 10 minutes . . . and maybe 'darken' is a bit too polite, because the first time the solution was more black than just darkened. I normally use a solution temperature on the high side, and cleaned the 'crud' off the outside of the carburetor with lacquer thinner before it went into the drink. My goal was to let the US cleaner do its thing on the passages that would be otherwise inaccessible, and not have to clean the easy to remove the 'crud' on the outside. On the internet there are parts baskets that look like small spheres made of stainless screening. The spheres open to allow the adding the small parts, and then lock closed. All you have to do is to throw the basket into the cleaner, and the parts don't disappear.

If anyone has used an ultrasonic cleaner with Evapo-Rust let us know the results.
