I'll just rotate the cylinder.
That's what I do, seems to work out ok, every time I flip something, I just remember how cheap the unit was.

Do you know where to get a small one in canada Will ? Can't seem to find anything except ebay.
Thats been my problem,finding one big enough..
wonder if you could take it apart and modify for a bigger tank ??
maybe just weld a couple more inches on top ??
thots ??
I would think you could take a glass or SS vessel, that would fit inside the regular tank on the US cleaner, fill it with the cleaning agent, warm, and put your item (cylinder etc.) into it and the Ultra sound would go through it as well. I know they do this in the opposite direction (ie small vessel of cleaning fluid into a larger US cleaner filled with H2O).
US should travel through the US cleaner H2O into the smaller vessel just fine. I haven't tried this but would be interested in seeing if it works.
Most of the time my, USC is just filled with water, then I just float at coffee pot in there with the solvent/cleaner, and put my small parts in the pot.
I finally got me one of those fancy US cleaners. I am a firm believer of heat adding a plus to cleaning so I took a model with heating included.
Put a carb in it yesterday as test, and was surprised how clean it came out after 20 minutes.
Appears to be a nice and usefull addition to the tool stable... thanks for the tips in this thread..
TWENTY minutes ??
tried that and now carb all this dull grey color..

Yup, in fact is was 2 x 10' with temp set at 35°C. Solution of water with approx 1% hydrocarbon solvent. It stayed very nice... no dull grey.
Yours looks like a deep fryer ..................Roland will be fryin chicken and fish on the off times......

I am not sure if the time in the USC is the cause of the grey color - or the solvent (or both). I have found that some of the cleaners like Purple Power, Castrol Super Clean, etc. are caustic and will etch the aluminum if mixed too strong or left too long. One of the threads on this site mentioned that the directions on their cleaner recommends a different product for aluminum. One of the tests for how well the USC works is to suspend strips of aluminum foil and see how long it takes to eat holes in the foil......so it very well could be that too much time in the USC will eat away the surface of aluminum.
Cooling beer is a better option....
it's a fancy stainless steel version....gotta go with quality if you want to impress the Stihl folks..:fart:

Sounds like you used the wrong cleaner? What did you use?

Funny, I was thinking of french fries when I first looked at it too!
Roland, now you can really spiff up those grungy flippy caps.
How does it work on those Skinner ribbon element filters? opcorn:
Haha, max. Temp on this thing is only 50°C or so...For making french fries, you need a whopping 180°C.
The one at work goes to 80°C......whatever that means in American.
