To be honest I keep thinking there will be some issues but so far not one.
I haven't even added any lubricants to the waste solvent also. The only upkeep I do is after about 200 gallons of WS I run one tank full of pump 82 through. I have even run it on other straight solvents like DTR600 and DTR 601 and MS 251 clean up thinner etc. Even my test lawn mower is still running that lived on the waste solvent for the past three years. It runs a littler leaner because its a fix jet carburetor but I don't care I'm trying to break it and she keeps going. lol
