OR Parts washer solvent

i was wondering what would be the best solvent to use in a parts washer with my rotary
engine. i did a quick search and found that mineral spirits seems to be a good choice but
a bit pricey. i've also heard that Castrol SuperClean and Simple Green seems to do the
trick also.

which would be the most effective at a reasonable price? more suggestions are welcome.

just straight diesel fuel in the parts washer?

also about the Simple Green, the regular kind works just as good as the other stuff?

i'm pretty close to tearing down my keg so i'd like to make a choice soon. any other input is welcome.

kerosene works well and is very close to the solvent that Safety Kleen uses.
