Ask for it as Ospho (as in osfo) or phosphoric acid
Ace True Value has it
Home Depot, Lowes etc; paint supply stores, auto body shops
it's very common

I wish it waqs common round here, I';d have had it by now, literally went to 8 places, 2 big box stores, 4 auto parts stores, one pool store, and a farm supply store, none of them had it or carry it. I did search and can order it online though, so I will do that and have to wait to finish my tank, for now I'l bend up my copper lkines and fit em on and what not until I can clean it out.

You can buy the same kit from Mid-USA and do it yourself. It's about 60.00. Just make sure you keep turning the tank every 20 minutes. |

Yes Evil, In Kenosha WI, far southeast corner, pretty much right smack dab in the center of chicago and milwaukee, so realy if anyone know of a place I'd be willing to drive up to Milwaukee or down to Chicago to get the Ospho. Actually a buddy from chicago is coming to my house tomorrow to work on his ducati and he could pick any up if theres somewhere in chicago with it that someone can point me in the right direction.
