Swim just found a solvent supplier selling

Quality Pertene D1 Perchloroethylene with excellent stabilisation.

Is this the elusive Tetra?

Also, it is a non-suspicious buy, ie, can Swim call & place an order with no questions asked?

Thanks.

Tetra is on its way out the door thanks to the EPA. Last year, due to tighter envirnmental regulations, tetra or tetrachloroethylene, made the EPA shit list and is being discontinued as we speak. It is still easily found at autozone if you have those, but better yet look at the $0.99 stores. Johnson's brake parts cleaner is tetra. Turn the can around and look for only two ingredients. Tetrachloroethylene and co2. The co2 is the repellant which dissipates into the air leaving only the tetra. Autozone carries CRC brake parts cleaner, red label.

Yeah, ta SwiG. SwiM thinks tetra may be unavailable over here, at any rate it's unsourcable. He says he's still waiting for CRC to reply to his e-mail regarding ditributors in the UK.He's not expecting a positive reply!

He read that Tetra = Perc which he's managed to find, it's the Pertene D1 bit he's not sure about.
