I don't think that I have ever seen a parts washer (for general cleaning) that didn't end up with petrol in it.
Personally I preferred the leaded petrol as the unleaded stuff goes off fairly quickly, it still cleans ok though, you don't notice the aroma when you work with it every day and also use it for cleaning, it cleans your hands and the parts at the same time and when you need some clean juice in the parts washer you can run the old stuff around the fence line so you don't have to whipper snip.

Back in the 60's Dad used to change his own car engine oil and would send me with the used oil around the fence line. When mum complained about the smell Dad sent me up and down the street to do the power poles. Of course I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible so I left veritable puddle of used oil around the poles. Then several of the neighbours complained so I had to use it sparingly on each pole - and ended up several streets away where I notice someone else was doing the same.
