they use ether for cooking drugs, but I'd NEVER heard of diesel fuel additive being used :confused:



it's lube oil and kerosene... I don't see what chemicals they would need to extract from a DFA or what step in the process it would be used for.

I work at NAPA, and I've NEVER carded anyone to buy any chemical. Also, I've never heard of a law that says you can only buy 4 cans of ether at a time, some of our farm customers buy 10 cases at a pop in the fall.

Forrest, are you looking for a new buzz? :)



nope, I've tried just about every one of 'em under the sun... these days I'll stick to a little whiskey and maybe a little "unripened tobacco" once in a blue moon. ;)

We were at wally world over the weekend and I needed to get a jug of power service. When it came time to check out, the gal behind the counter asked my wife for ID. Said she had to be 18 to be able to buy the power service. What did the gal think, we were going to go out in the parking lot and smoke the stuff? :rolleyes: My wife asked why she needed to be 18 and the counter gal had no clue as too why, all I could do was stand there and shake my head. :-laf

You guys must be doing something right... look under 18 and own a 40 K truck> :rolleyes:

People i don't think realize what druggies will do for a high or what ingenius ideas they can come up with to cook there next batch but that is why they are carding down here for fuel additives, paint thinners, and also the coleman fuel thats in sporting goods, ask a police officer or anyone that has to deal with these pple on a daily basis and they can tell you stuff that will make your eyes roll... . trust me my job pertains to keeping them behind bars once there caught so there isn't anything they won't stoop to in order to get their fix.

As far as the PS additive it has been my number one source for added protection in the tank, but i have used others and so far no ill affects and the WIF light hasn't come on the first time in 97600 miles. Howles used to be available down here but i can't seem to find it anymore.
