Simple green or something else?
I need to clean up my fuel station pump of the gunk that has built up over the years so I can swap out the pump gears. Would simple green do the trick or is there another cleaner that would be better for the job?

- Purple Power cleaner works well too. Cleans and degreases. Available from Walmart
- I like 'Awesome"....get at Dollar Tree (Family Dollar, Dollar General, Walmart etc.)
It's a concentrate.....I dilute for general cleaning around house and use it full strength for cleaning up BBQ, greasy stuff, stove top vent screen etc. - Good thing I have plenty of brake cleaner! It should be labeled as all purpose cleaner!
Thanks for the input! - X2 on brake cleaner.
- ^^^^^^^
Second that, just pick up some aerosol carb or brake cleaner. Be careful with carb cleaner as it eats up rubber. - Simple Green will not clean fuel deposits/gum you will need carb cleaner.
- How about using basic old 'parts cleaner'?
Any auto parts outfit like Auto Zone, etc.
