What happened to my favorite fuel additive??!!
Dieselkleen cetane booster, gray 1 gallon bottle from Wally World. It got pulled off of the shelves! Local NAPA dealer has non either. Something going on with DieselKleen that I don't know about? Carmyne

I know Walmart pulled it off the shelves, something with the labeling and ULSD or something like that.
(not that I've been within 100ft of Walmart in the past 10 years though)

I didn't think any auto parts stores were pulling it, maybe the Walmart shortage created a run on auto parts stores?

Anyway, moving this over the Fuel's section, as that's where that post about Walmart pulling it is.

I'll take your money on that bet, Mike.

The magic of redirects means he can't miss it.

My local Autozone was stocked. The Walmart just up the street had nothing in either the silver or white bottle.

O'Reilly's autoparts has it, but they want almost $18 for a 96oz bottle now.
I'm blending my own additives now.

It would have been cheaper to slap a label on the product rather than pay the shipping charges to send them all back.

I used to use the grey bottle. I now use Ethos FR with better results. Check out the results on this product www.ethosfr.com I get the stuff at a 25% discount so if anyone wants to try it, let me know.

Sounds like a pretty good product if it's anywhere near as good as they claim. Where do you buy it?
