Default RE: gst 7.7 ? about fuel

Hi Notch, Dustin7837 & Nomobux,

Thanks for all your help. I am running in my GST now so i've mixed 15% oil, later after running in I will reduce it to 11% as Dustin7837 suggested.
We dont get ready fuel here in India because of the problems in importing the fuel. As this contains Nitro and its not allowed in airparcel / flight, we have to relay only on surface shipping and surface shipping will take 3 months and even the retailer of the oil puts a condition that if we buy a minimum of 12 gallons then only he'll ship it. And moreover Surface shipping to India i've heard thers lot of missing or lost in transit cases because there's no tracking of the shipment. Ofcourse, 1 or 2 of hobby shops in India is selling imported fuel (morgan or traxxas) but each quart bottle is sold of Rs.2000/- equilant of US$45/- So whenever possible if any of my friends are returning from US or Singapore i request them to get me Morgan or Kllotz synthetic oil for me. And it is not restricted in flight because its oil and not flamable nitro. With the synthetic oil sourced, we buy Methonal and Nitro in the local labs here and mix our own fule, thats the reason i asked help in mixing fuel. Methonal costs Rs.300/- for two and half liters close to US$6.5 and Nitro Methane cost Rs.800/- for half a litre close to US$17.00/-.

Thanks for all the help from everybody and sorry for being rude in the begenning.

Regards,

Adarsh
