What do you guys run in your parts washers?
Kero/diesel is usually used as far as I know. I do have some Koala Kare degreaser that I think is alkaline salts or something like that (made my fingers feel sandpapery  ) but i'm thinking that might strip paint or stuff the pump.
Any other ideas?

dont use the koala degreaser or any ct 12 type degreasers they will fark your internals.
you can use almost any sprit/kero type degreasers however.
I used a kero type one that washes off with water with good results but I dont remember the brand I get it from a mobile bloke.

Oh and another thing. Mine is a 76 litre job, which says it has a 45 litre capacity. Do you actually need 45 litres of degreaser in the thing?

We use food handling gloves at work and barrier cream incase they break. They seem to last the time that you wash, then you chuck them.. Saves your hands alittle. You can also buy chemical gloves, but after a while the may go hard..

Lol found the book to my 636 ninja the other day. I can't remember what the actual figure was but it was well over 100hp. I had to laugh that it has so much more than my zook.
