KCJarman -> Where to get my stuff for Home Brew??? (5/14/2008 8:22:13 PM)

Anyone able to help out with a place to get my home brew stuff.

I live in Indianpolis, IN. But I would prefer to get online.....

Thanks for the help.

Search through the old postings on this forum. There is lots of information on where to get fuel components. One supplier is www.s-whobby.com

I don't think you will save any money over buying ready-made fuel at your LHS unless you can find a local source for methanol and nitromethane. The hazardous shipping fees will kill you.

Get your oil from Cooper Fuels. It's a superior formulation (to Klotz or Morgans). So much better in fact, that we run their Plus-C oil at 12% (by volume) around here and our engines seem to last forever.

I would thing methanol and nitro would be easy to get in Indy. Try googling VP racing, then look up the local supplier, give them a call. They have fuel and oil. You should also give Fox Manufacturing and Morgan fuels a call for oil. It won't be found on their website's.

Yeah.... I just got ahold of VP fuels... they have 50/50 Nitro methenol blend in 5 gallon containers.... Only $87.30.

Looks like I will be placing an order for here pretty soon.

Pure Nitro is impossible to get unless I order in 45gallon drums.[:o]



Sport_Pilot -> RE: Where to get my stuff for Home Brew??? (5/15/2008 8:40:43 PM)

Well the 50/50 is good. With 20% oil that would be 40% nitro and you add some methanol for less. Thats a good price for 50/50 you will be buying 2 1/2 gallons of nitro for less than $80. The last time I bought nitro it was $50 per gallon.



XJet -> RE: Where to get my stuff for Home Brew??? (5/15/2008 9:52:13 PM)

Think yourself lucky on the nitro...

Here in NZ, one of the major importers of nitro is out of stock and the price is over $100 per gal when you can get it.

Ouch... VP Fuels is only 65 miles from my house.... so I can go pick it up... and Save Money.... LOL[:D]

KCJarman, Klotz (just up the road from you in Ft Wayne), has nitro in gallons. I bought some from them at Toledo this spring for $30 a gallon but I don't know what the current price is. Their address is :

Klotzlube
7424 Freedom Way
Fort Wayne, IN 46818
(260) 490-0489
