Had a few parts from a ZT to be put away for future use.

I clean parts thoroughly and then wrap and bag them before boxing them.

Today as SWMBO was out I rebelled and decided to put them in the dishwasher for a good hot wash and clean.

WOW !!!!!!!! They came out spotlessly clean. A dishwasher is a good parts cleaner.

Mind you, if SWMBO knew it would be

Let us just hope her morning cuppie doesn't taste of oil .....

I'd be concerned about the health and safety element. Diesel is a known carcinogen, as is used engine oil. Most oils cause contact dermatitis.

My opinion is that this practice is irresponsible and dangerous.

My other half would put me in the dishwasher if I did that and she found out

I was thinking similar Stu, oil getting in to the water course, and food holding products being placed where oil has been. OP not criticising you, but serious health risks here

If on the other hand you could have one connected up in your 'man cave' just for the use of part cleaning...".

Just think..instead of

I think we need a new dishwasher for the kitchen....

I have plans to replace our dishwasher with a new model in the kitchen, and plumb the old one in at the back of the garage to use as a GhettoTech parts cleaner.

You can often get secondhand parts cleaners, they circulate a cleaning fluid, possibly paraffin based, the fluid is fed through to the brush. They do a good job and wont harm your insides or the water system.

To be fair, he didn't say which parts........could be parts not contaminated? But if they are, I think you owe your good lady a new dishwasher
