I have a Safety Kleen parts washer that I picked up at the dump 30 years ago. The kind that sits inside a 20 gallon grease pail.

The drain filter was in bad shape so I improvised with a large soup can. Punched holes all around the sides and tywrapped the plastic flange piece that was on the filter bag around the can. When I run the washer, the liquid drips into the can and out the holes in the sides, and the crap slowly builds up in the bottom.

I rarely use it nowadays, seems the solvent goes bad and gets very smelly after about a year of sitting, even with the lid closed. So bad that I need to wear a respirator when I do use it, and have to change my clothes after.
