I've been thinking of making one using an old stainless darkroom sink when I get around to rebuilding an aircraft engine. A 5 gallon can of solvent (mineral spirits, paint thinner, etc.) and pump and a filter of some kind and some hose. I was buying parts cleaner solvent in a 5 gallon can from Tractor Supply, but I can't find it on their website now. I use it with a siphon sprayer and air hose to wash down the Cessna engine and belly each year.
