NAPA sells 5 gallon drums of parts cleaner solvent, fwiw.  It is marked
as flammable, and it has disclaimers wrt using it in enclosed spaces,
but since it's intended for use in a parts cleaner I'd think it would be
a better place to start than some other solvent that might be more
evaporative over time.

I've had it in my parts cleaner for a couple of years now, with no ill
effect (that I'm aware of).

HTH,
