It's available locally here...but I don't know where "here" is in your case. Try updating you sig with location and vehicle info.

Tampa, FL. I was hoping it was available in national chain stores, which would include "here". I was amazed to find that the nearest T/A truckstop hadn't even heard of it.

Walmart has it

I have never even considered buying any diesel purge, but I did notice the auto section in our local Walmart carries a couple of different brands. I'd say, save your money and just get out there and drive that good old diesel.

You are talking about Diesel Purge, right? Not simply diesel fuel system cleaner? "Diesel Purge" is a 'named product' by Lubro Moly (don't know if it's a TM), not a generic cleaner. I hadn't seen it at WalMart, but then I haven't looked in one of their "Superstores" yet either. I will on the way home.
