Mineral Spirits are frequently used in parts washers, I am not familiar wiith Buffalow though.
Harbor Freight sells a water based concentrate for the parts washer that works really good. The 1 gallon jug will last you a lifetime because you can really dilute it. You could also try Simple Green concentrate and water. I wouldn’t use mineral spirits.
Since it says to only use water based solvents then using an oil based solvent (minerial spirits) will probably make it leak all over the place – and it would also be a serious fire hazzard
yeah mine says that too but i used a few jugs of mineral spirits from wal mart there’s no problem
