You and me both, lol! My ultrasonic is about a gallon size. The head will get sprayed with Marine Clean/hot water mix from a spray bottle. I tried to get the heavy build-up of last night with some Gunk degreaser and I have a siphon-feed blow gun I use odorless mineral spirits with. That worked ok for cutting most of it clean minus the hard carbon in the exhaust ports and combustion chambers & PC bores. The intake ports were another story. The incredibly thick layer of oily sooty buildup is horrible. I cut a nylon bore brush and chucked it in the air drill and went to town and they are still dirty as all get out. It looked like a river of black mud coming out of those things and me and my shop is a mess! Lets just say I took a bottle of Dawn and jug of Snap-On hand cleaner to the shower last night! LOL

That head is going to require some mechanical scraping to get clean

Skippy~ As for perception: Drive what you like and can afford. Those who don't like it can supply vacuum to one of your components. LOL

If you need parts, I have some!
