Fuel where to get.

oooo, that's scary!

My last purchase of fuel was from SIG. My second to last purchase was from Hobbico, with the "New" correct castor % formula (2014) as:
Cox Super Power Fuel,=sadly Hobbico went bankruupt, was bought by Horizon Hobby and i can't find it on the "new" web site.

A few members bought from  GlowPlugBoy brand Glow Fuel  which I believe was purchased and is now run by Fritz as Fritz Fuels?
this was a OLD e-Bay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/222147788892?ViewItem=&item=222147788892

I certainly hope that SIG can source the Nitro and re-supply our needs.

Otherwise I have read on other forums that someone has been using 30%nitro Heli Fuel and adding a few ounces of Klotz Castor to blend it to 20% oil.
there are a number of threads where the mixing or blending of different fuels can be used has been discussed, mainly being concerned with the importance of having 20% oil content with at least 50% of the oil being Castor Oil.

Last Line of Defense: https://coxengines.ca/diesel-head-conversion-for-cox-049.html      We will join our British, Australian and European Brothers in oil.....do not under any circumstances say the word that's not spoken (electric) Yikes! !

Fitz is out too I asked for a custom blend the other day he has no nitro to work with something
up with the nitro supply here in the USA.

Cox Super Power Fuel is available through Tower Hobbies still.

Brodak also offers all castor fuel. Don't go to the website and see the costs of shipping, YOU MUST call to verifty a order and price. S&W also makes fuel in any blend. Unfortunately, Powermaster stopped offering all castor fuel which was my go to castor fuel 10 /29. Randy Ritch aka Ritch's Brew is in Texas and will make any type of fuel.

It was on backorder and they just sent me a email saying they have it in stock. They had both 25%-35%. I received that e-mail however 2 weeks ago.

Crap all I say all of the Tower stuff is all on back order something is up with the Nitro supply.
I suggest folks buy what they can while you can my link is still good on the first post.

Just bought a second gallon to be on the extra safe side lol.

Some yap about it all here:
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3072599-Nitro-Methane-shortage-%21

The current trade issues we have with China are probably the major reasons that there is a shortage of nitromethane.
Most all nitro production worldwide is and has been from Chinese companies for many years now.
I recall that China shut down all nitro production, warehousing, and shipping during the 2008 Beijing Olympics due to possible terrorist issues.
They didn't want a ship load of the stuff "accidently" going off in one of their seaports.
The model hobbyist industry is a tiny percentage of use after industrial use and motor sports use.
The shortage was so severe in 2008 that the National Hot Rod Association ( NHRA) was going to have to cancel the entire racing season due to no fuel for the top classes.
As I remember, Don Schumacher Racing had 500 drums (55 Gallons per drum) in a warehouse and made a deal with the NHRA to make fuel available for all racers to keep the season alive.
This is the dependency we have when US production is allowed to leave the county.
FWIW Steve....

I would email these guys to see if its in stock.
