I have a five gallon container that I use for degreasing. I bought three spray cans of degreaser at Walmart for $1.89 a can and used that. I degreased some parts in the container so I didn't lose any degreaser. Then I added one gallon of Kerosene to that. (under $2.00). Now I can degrease parts without needing a respirator, rubber gloves or goggles. It's also good for degreasing your hands when they get coated with grease. It doesn't dry out your skin like gasoline and it washes off with water. You can't get much cheaper than that. Especially if you buy gloves, respirator and goggles. Can you scrape up $8.00 somewhere? Maybe mow somebody's lawn or something.
