    Does anybody have a recommendation? I'm looking for something that doesn't take up a ton of space, yet I can fit engine casings in and has a brush that fluid pumps through. I might end up with one of the free-standing ones, but the 20 gallon ones I've seen seems excessive.

    Have a free standing "varsol" tank at my shop. Its approx 4x2.5 ft. Holds 5-6 gallons of solvent with a raised tray and fluid pump nozzle, seperate brush. Made of red tin. Power Fist brand here in Canada if i remember correct.
    Bought it at Tooltown, discount parts n tools, was like $50 CAN
    Would just fit a motorcycle case, lid open.
    Cheap, construction and cost, but its over 10 years old now and still works. Id look for similar.

    Thanks, I'll look for something similar. I find in some cases, I like buying really nice tools, but much of the time, I can go with something a little cheaper since I don't do any of my work full-time and so it's light duty for the tools!
