My new cleaner

I started by making a 5/16 hose barb threaded 1/2-28 and attached it to a pipe plug also drilled and tapped 1/2-28

The can is threaded onto the hose barb, and the plug/barb/can is threaded into a plumbing pipe. The other end of the pipe has a cap that has been threaded to accept a standard hose barb. Attach fuel line to the pipe and to an electric fuel pump, and some type of sealed tank(I used an ammo can. [img][img=http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2769/cleaner002zo3.th.jpg]
Put your solvent of choice in the tank, attach the pump to a power supply and your in business. My theory is the pressurised solvent will flow through the can much the same as gasses and should clean much better than soaking alone.

Fixed...

The can is threaded onto this and the plug/barb/can is screwed into the plumbing pipe. The cap on the other end of the pipe is tapped to accept a standard hose barb. Fuel line is attached to this and to a electric feul pump, and some type of sealed tank( I used an ammo can).

Pour your solvent of choice into the tank, connect the pump to a power supply and your in business. My theory is the pressurized solvent flows through the can the same way gasses do, and will clean much better than soaking alone.

you might want to make sure you have a filter on the high pressure side so that you don't "pump" junk into the can. I would also make sue that you use a pump that won;t heat up the solvent and cause an explosive situation.
