Abstract: A parts washer device including a liquid container, a tank and a pump where the liquid container is adapted to carry a liquid solvent therein and has an open end defined by a rim and a closed end remote therefrom. The tank is adapted to be removably positioned on the liquid container such that parts can be washed therein and includes a parts washing portion adapted to be supported above the open end of the liquid container and a skirt portion extending below the parts washing portion and adapted to fit within the open end of said liquid container. The pump includes a pump discharge tube for carrying the liquid solvent from the liquid container to the parts washing portion of the tank and is mounted on the tank so as to extend through and substantially below the skirt portion into the liquid solvent when the tank is supported on the liquid container.
