Abstract
A system for cleaning oil containing vehicular components with heated cleaning liquid comprising a washing unit having at least one spray nozzle for directing the cleaning liquid to the vehicular component. The system of the present invention also includes a reservoir for the cleaning liquid as well as a pump for supplying cleaning fluid to the liquid spray nozzle or nozzles. A heater in the form of a oil fired burner is utilized to pass heated exhaust gases through a heat exchange conduit which extends into the reservoir to impart heat to the cleaning liquid in the reservoir. The cooled exhaust gases are then exhausted through a stack. Oil is gathered from the vehicular component placed in a container which empties into a conduit to feed the oil fired burner to produce the hot exhaust gases.
