I've been reading up on IGH oil baths and of the few how-to guides I found, only one of them mentioned what solvent they used before oiling: petrol, per some British home mechanic. As I don't have kerosene or mineral spirits about, but do have about a gallon of white gas, I was going to use the white gas as solvent later this week when I bathe the hub.

After reading this thread, I think that I might just go ahead and buy a can of mineral spirits instead. Been meaning to try mixing my own chain lube, anyway.

Just to be clear, mineral spirits will evaporate from the part in question without a need for rinsing, yes?
