Larger quantities of brake/carb cleaner
I've been using the brake cleaner and carb cleaner from toolstation, and they do a pretty good job. But they don't go very far, for
example the 500ml carb cleaner just about cleaned one set of carbs!!
Can they be bought in larger quantities, for example would this be any good;
Carplan Brake And Parts Cleaner 5 Litre LEAVES NO RESIDUE BPC050 van brake
And can anyone recommend a sprayer bottle, having almost dissolved my carb o-rings I am wary of just using a cheapie spray bottle!

Most good motor factors will sell you a vac spray bottle that will be ok or if you have a tps branch near you there ones work ok .

Yes that'll do the job. We use a SPRAYER BOTTLE LIKE
THIS
It's more reliable than the pressurised ones on which the seals or valves seem to fail eventually. The one I use has been in daily use for about
10 years.

Ah, unfortunately while Wolves does have a TPS, they're one of the very few who enforce the 'trade only' view. They've got a
sign on the counter that says they require proof of a business before they even talk to you.

I just had some business cards made up via vistaprint that said I was a mobile mechanic that helped me set up trade accounts and I reap the benefits
of cheaper parts
