Does anyone know where to get the UCON LB625 oil? I live in Sweden, so preferably a reseller in europe, but anyone that ships internationally will be fine. :-)

Status: offline 		25 years ago I mixed fuel for the large R/C club of which I was a member. I used Ucon oil which I bought from the Dow Chemical outlet in the nearest major city, which was Toronto Ont. Canada. I found their address in the yellow pages of the phone book. The only problem was the smallest quantity they would sell me was by a 45 Imperial gallon drum.

Looking at their website, http://www.dow.com/polyglycols/ucon/products/2cycle.htm they no longer specifically list LB 625 oil, but rather "Synalox" as being available in Europe. Perhaps this will give you a lead.

LB 625 was in those days looked upon as having the lowest viscosity usable for model fuels. I used the higher viscosity MA 731 and YT 773 oils with excellent results.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Status: offline 		MA 731 has not been made in years. That was the special fluid made for George Aldrich when he had the glow fuel company a long time ago. Dow will only make it if swomebody wants a train tanker car load of it. LB 625 is an antiquated fluid technology, but it works OK, hard to get your fingers on because its not a very popular fluid anymore. If you're in europe, stick with the Aerosynth/ Aerosave products.
