I posted this in my build thread and I've seen some discussion on it in older posts, but I thought I'd just post my experience over here if people are interested.
So, to recap, I put 2 gallons of Pine-Sol in a five gallon pail along with my nasty carbs. I have found very little about pine-sol soaking around, a few posts on some other forums, and I was curious. Some others dilute the mixture with water, but I used full strength original formula Pine-Sol.
The pictures below are with NO scrubbing/carb cleaner or anything. Just disassembled them as much as I could in their condition, put them in a pail, waited two days. I didn't have any agitation or anything. Just had them in my house in a sealed container (caution: without a sealed pail, you will have an angry wife). There was no concern about the pail being sealed, no pressure build-up or anything strange. Just be careful when you open it up, the fumes are pretty nasty and made my throat a little raw for a bit.
