Fuel Supply

[Burrowman]

I am trying to source a supplier of fuel who will deliver to my home a fuel that is 15% nitro and 20% castor. Most fuel mnfrs will only supply through model shops and my nearest is about 60 miles away.
Any suggestions please?

Problem is going to be finding a carrier who will transport such a material. Postal service and Couriers will never carry such a flammable material. So that leaves personal arrangements.

Looks like you'll have to either buy bulk when you go that 60mls or ask another modeller when they are going for own supplies. Maybe as a club you could club together to buy in supplies ?

My nearest model shop is 75 miles away. This is one of the reasons for me going electric.

Awhile ago I used to buy fuel for our club. 30 gals was the basic order if you wanted discount, I found Southern Model Craft very good.They will deliver within reason if they are in your area. But they do attend a fair few shows through out the summer season.
