So people are huffing fuel additives?

Well in preperation to getting my truck back from Garmon's I stopped by walmart to get some Diesel Kleen cause I know I'll be filling my truck up in a day or two. Well when I go to the "you-scan-it" at the Walmart I scanned the additive and a little message came up saying "approval needed"?!!? I was like what in the world? I've never had to do that before, nor have I ever been ID'ed at any autoparts store. Has this ever happened to yall?

Yeah, but I just didn't think that a fuel additive required an ID.

I didn't get carded for fuel additives but for something else I thought was benign. Laxatives. Hubby had to have them for colonoscopy. I am looking all over for them and they are in a locked case. I guess the kids are using them as a weight loss trick.

Laxatives?!? Who buys those anyway?

If you're backed up, you go to Taco Bell and pick ANYTHING on the menu.....Problem will be solved shortly...
