Is it o.k. to use a degreaser like Gunk Engine Bright and water from a hose-end sprayer to clean the engine compartment and engine on a diesel pusher? I would not do this on a hot engine or turbo :-).

I don't have a pusher, but I do have a Dodge pu with Cummins diesel. I keep my engine clean at all times. I use the orange extract soap straight and hose it off with either the high pressure washer or just a hose. Never had any problems with washing it.
