Had a really bad run in with Mecoa some years ago (they still owe us money and product) so dealing with them is completely out of question.
Our main market is the USA (40%), followed by the UK (20%), Canada (5%) and then lots of European countries, Central and South America and a bit all over the world. No customers in Iceland so far but we have some in French Guyana, Vanvatu, Fiji, Mauritius, Indonesia etc

Diesel,really?
I bought one of Davis's first prod run Diesel head gizmos for 049's. Still have it, still not reliably usable.in my hands at least.
Desite owning an assortment of Diesels for at least 3 decades
Currently I have a drawer full of Diesels and NO fuel.
Seemingly no volume supplier still makes it. Unless willing to pay for a 45 gallon drum ~$4000
Some diy the swill: but chemical components are increasingly difficult to source. Some virtually impossible.
Food for thought.

I've had decent results with 1/3 lamp oil, 1/3 castor oil & 1/3 John Deere starting fluid for non throttled engines. The weak link with dieselized COX and Norvel engines is the rod. A beefy crank just means that you wont snap any cranks....just rods. The mathematic difference between buying glow plugs and more [glow] fuel vs buying less [diesel] fuel but replacing more broken engine parts, I've never weighed the differences over an extended period, like 200 flights or so.

danilo-2 you should be able to Get John Deere starter fluid up there mainly ether castor oil and kerosene should not be an issue
thats what a lot of the guys use. here (USA) Davis diesel has fuel 1/2 A and regular for the bigger ones
