Dishwasher as parts washer?

You could actually use the dishwasher outdoors. If you have a spigot on the side of your house/shop/garage, you only need to wire up a 110 plug and cord and get an adapter to connect the water source. As for the drain. If you are just using H20, you can let it drain out outside. Most of the kitchen Aid dishwashers have built in heaters and will heat the water. use a braided 96" water line and you could actually connect a couple lines together with a 3/8" adapter and you will have all kinds of length for the water supply connection.

Smart elleck. You talk like you do that for a livin or sumffin. LOL
