Now I have a tub and pump as in the Top photo on this tread. Up until now I have used Kerosene as a parts cleaner but now all retailers have stopped selling this wonderfull stuff from the bulk pumps here in Australia. We have to order 20 litre drums into a fuel agent and these guys want twice the price of petrol per litre.

Does anyone especialy in Australia have a option that is good on your hands and does not explode?

PS petrol is not an option as I have tried this mixed 50/50 with kero and had a nice big fire when the pump arched in the parts washer

A heavy mix of washing soda ,water and a little detergent..
I use that mix for just about everything that had to remove grease or grime..If it will take of the stuff baked on in the family oven,it will take crud off an old transmission..A dip in a light oil after cleaning and thoriough drying will bring back any good lubricant you require for rust control..
Add electrolisis to the cleaning application for rust removal..(Be careful if using electrolsis..the vapour ,hydrogen ,given off in the process,will light up your life..vent or process out side..
