Fuel and general costs

Hi
Im looking around for the best deal on 10% glow fuel,
THIS is the best ive found so far. (better than rich at £15)
So spill the beans, where do you get your fuel from and how much do you pay?

Thanks

The majority ofthe fuel for my models comes from the plug socket in my workshop, or from the Car battery. The remainder comes from Caldo oils on the HTM business park in Rhuddlan.

Oh, the first is electrons by the way, and the second is premium grade paraffin!

For that old fashioned glow fuel stuff, a lot of people buy it in bulk at the model shows in the summer....

Oh is it?
Doh!
Well they have a full gallon for £16 so no biggie

Still, no one has said where they get there glow fuel from...

Fair enough if you add shipping it comes out at £24.09 per gallon.

Most sensible modellers get it from the shows at the beginning & end of season, you could give Kerin at Hobby Corner a ring he may well bring some with him to the Thursday meeting I personally use Beckra 10% but the TECHPOWER 10% 4.55 LIT (1 GAL) looks to be a very good specification fuel.

So what shows are there that I could go to, I think I heard dave and tim talking about one of them being amazing

Weston Park is not to be missed

in my glow days i was a Bekra man too, great fuel

Weston Park (June), Woodvale (August) are the two local shows about 2 hours from Rhyl maybe 3 from Bangor of course we tend to go for long weekends so the travel costs are divided, if you are just going for fuel it's not economical, although you could ask someone to pick things up for you.

I've just checked Elite Models website if you order 1 gallon it's £7.50 carriage increase the quantity & the carriage stays the same so quite economical really

What is in the shows as I have seen something similar (flying demo's market ect...) but I never really had the bug before

If your engine is still an OS46LA, you only need 5% fuel. But it's a plain bearing engine so go for the one with adequate lube oil.
