Parts Cleaner Solvent

I'm switching from kerosene to an industrial solvent in my parts washer, and it says it will make 25 gallons for a 5 gal. drum, but it doesn't way what to use to dilute it with. What am I supposed to use.

Thanks

I called the Manufacture and found out it was just plain water. Seems weird to me considering this stuff is petro based. Oh well, guess I'll use water.

Thanks,
