Looked for Diesel Purge in Houston

In September, somebody here recommended that I go up to the K & H ******** on San Jacinto St. to look for Diesel Purge. I went there today to look for some, and the guy in the office there told me that they no longer sold Diesel Purge, since they could only buy a case of 24, and and it would take them two years to sell an entire case. So, I have to look elsewhere in the city to get a can of Diesel Purge without paying S&H charges like I normally would on the internet. Any Houstonians have any more leads for me?

Try calling John at Champion Import, or, better yet have you tried BAP Geon?

Why not just use Power Services, or Redline, strait out of the bottle? It's all I've ever used and has worked pretty well too! BB

Because Diesel Purge is a different kind of product (not an additive) that does a much better job.

I've tried BAP Geon last summer, with no avail. I'm going to perhaps go into the store instead of simply calling, and talk to a representative directly, and if that doesn't work, I'll try John at Champion Import. BTW- Is it called Champion Import because it's in the Champions sudivision area?

P.S. YES!!!! Post 600!!!

He used to be in Champions but he moved to SH 249 on the northbound side between Perry and Cypresswood, past the big Catholic Church, directly in front of the AMF bowling place. I know for a fact he has it in stock.

Well what do you know, I'll be out on Perry Rd. near SH249 in about two weeks!! Maybe I'll get a chance to stop by and get a can or two and try it out.

So what's the price on the Lubro Moly at Champions?

Might have to detour there my next trip to Houston in April!

$10 per can, I picked up a can of it last Saturday, I'll be generous and try it on the 300SD first. Thanks again Bill.

Dunno about it either, but there are folks on here that are light years smarter than me that swear by it...so for 20 bucks, I'm gonna find out.
Then I'll wash, clay, and carnuba Miss Heidi, and we'll both look and feel better.
