Re-use Pine Sol after soaking?
 

I'm soaking my old EFI Throttle Bodies in Pine Sol and I'm amazed at the way the crud is melting away. My soaking "tank" only holds one TB, so I'll be soaking them one at a time. My question is --- When it comes time to soak the second throttle body, can I re-use the old Pine Sol, or is it spent after dissolving all the crud from the first Throttle Body?

I dont see why not. Just strain out the crud and give it a go.

At some point the solution will be saturated and will not be as effective but you might not notice.

Did a search and found this long thread on using Pine Sol as a parts cleaner:

The Pine Sol Degreaser Thread - ADVrider

Haven't read the entire 24 page thread, but it looks good. The claims - safe for aluminum, environmentally friendly and effective. It's also relativey cheap compared to other solutions.

The truth will be told when I take them out and clean them off tonight. When I first filled the soaking tank with Pine Sol, I noticed some foaming. By the time I checked back, the foam was over flowing. I have no idea what was going on with that, but the interim results looked great.

Yes its reusable. We keep a 5 gal bucket of it amongst our group of friends. It works great to clean off just about anything. Sometimes you have to let them soak a bit longer to really get them clean - especially after many parts have been through.

Works great diluted in an ultrasonic cleaner. ;)

I've had good luck with undiluted Pinesol for the primary soak and then rinse in an ultrasonic cleaner. Works very well. A couple gallons of Pinesol in a sealable lasted me one entire engine/car rebuild.
