I swear by NO-TOIL air filter oil and cleaner. The oil and cleaner are bio degradable to. Oil the filter with the NO-TOIL oil and when you want to clean it just get a bucket of water add the cleaner and clean! Hang to dry done, no mess, no petrol. Petrol is'nt an ideal cleaner anyway for normal oiled filters. Most off road shops stock it, I get mine from bridgend off road.

Right then, this is what I do:

I have a plastic oil drum with a sealable lid. Holds about 10 gallons.

I have about 4 to 5 gallons of parraffin/ aviation fuel in it. I use it to wash engine parts and air filters by dipping them in there. I put the lid back on to stop evaporation. Must be a good inch of shite at the bottom but I never go to the bottom...

I use thick rubber gloves that come up to my elbows. They go straight from the parraffin dip to a bucket of well hot soapy water, some washing powder and some good old fairy liquid.

Then under the cold tap out the back for a bloody good rinsing...

And then they get hung up in there special reserved place with top of the range wooden clothes pegs...

I do not wash them in the paraffin. I just use that to kill the oil. All the washing is done in the bucket...

I have used the same container for well over 10 years with no refill...

Beat that if you can... Laughing Laughing Laughing

I'can't understand why you would go to the trouble of using petrols,parrafin ect when theres a clean solution available, why, why,why! I don't sell the stuff but here's a link to the first place I saw it on google [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I've seen people using fuels to clean filters shoving it straight down the drain when there finished, not saying anyone here does but why would any one use anything else when theres a solution available, also petroleums including petrol of course rots filters! Or is it the cost of £22 for two bottles which will last probably 10+ cleans!
