I have a jar of Minwax Tung Oil that has gotten thick and elastic. It's fairly new. How can I thin it out? Can you also suggest a pure Tung Oil? Thanks

Tung oil is a reactive finish. Your tung oil isn't 'drying out' - it's setting up. You'd be best advised to discard it and get new.

Paint thinner MAY help a little, but the material should still be discarded and not used.

Vandyke's Restorations has a good pure tung oil - don't remember the name. They can be reached at the link below and you can get a free catalog by asking for one.
