Can I get BG 44K injector cleaner at local stores?

I think the title explains it lol - I found out this stuff is the best and want to try it before resorting to the down-time required for sending my injectors off to Cruzin Performance, so is there a place I should be able to find it locally, like at oreilly's or autozone? I can't remember seeing it before.... Thanks.

Actually, I've already been there. I appreciate the help, but I was asking where I can get it locally so because I'd rather not wait a week for it to arrive if I dont have to.

Rather than a parts store, try a local dealership, and not just GM. I know we will sell our BG kits here at the Lincoln/Mercury dealer I work for to those who ask. Most dealers do sell injector services...

Ok well I'm in a small town of about 8,000 people here in Texas for the summer, in which there are two small dealerships, one GM, one Ford, and maybe a mechanic garage or two. What are the chances that the small-town dealers have it? I'll go check tomorrow, for sure, but I'd still like to know what you guys think my chances are.

Locally I can get it from Nappa or Advanced Auto (PDQ, Western ect..) It's good stuff even better if you buy the cleaning kit that hooks up to shop air, but if you dont want to invest $200 on the kit use the 44k with less then half a tank of gas or less, works mutch better then the reccomended full tank. BTW going price around here is 17.99 a can.

I don't believe he is talking about the "just pour it in your tank" crap. He is talking about the pressurized can you hook up to your schraeder valve and let the engine run on just the can.

Actually, I am going to try the in-tank stuff first, to see it it clears it up, then go from there if necessary. If that doesnt work I'll probably just send my injectors to Cruzin, which I dont have a problem with, except I'll have trouble dealing with the downtime, so I'm trying to avoid it.

We use BG 44K in our induction services at my Chevy dealership, but when we flush injectors with GM Top Eninge cleaner we also add a bottle of Techron (Chevrons gas additive in concentrated form) to the gas tank. I think it's probably just as good as the BG
stuff and more readily available, I have seen it at Autozone, Discount Auto and other places. I figured I'd mention it as an alternative if you can't find the 44K locally.
