Home brew...70% methanol, 20% oil (mostly castor) and 10% nitro....by volume! I like it because I know what is in it!

Last year thru next weekend (I'm down to my last gallon): Red Max heli. 15% nitro, 20% synthetic oil. I use this in everything. Clean burning, low smoke output and smells good.

I just received a new shipment of fuel from them. Standard 2-stroke fuel (not the heli blend - cheaper!). 5%, 15% and 20% nitro blends, all with 20% oil.

It's obvious from what I read here that I run less nitro than most people, my Fox 50/50 is 5% and my Wildcat Premium Plus is 10%. I use Fox and Saito engines for the most part. Fox's have fairly high compression and two of my Saito's are the older high compression versions and the Wildcat is recommended for my RCV .90

For my two-strokes, I use Morgan Omega 10% with two ounces of Klotz Benol castor added. For my fourstrokes, I use Morgan Coolpower 15%.

I have to drive 25 miles and pay top dollar for fuel. I may try ordering some fuel from the manufacturers. I looked at a few websites a while back, and remember seeing that there was at least one brand I could have shipped to my door for the same or less than I'm paying at the not-so-local hobby shop.

How many of you guys order fuel by the case(s) and have it delivered to your home?
