I wish someone would produce the Nitro here in the USA. It would be better quality, and could prolly be fairly competitive in price.
There are 3 factories in the world that produce nitromethane. The one in China, and the other two are here in the US. The problem is that with the plant in China shut down that means there is 1/3 less nitro available now.

I got into this debate with one of our club members the other day. I proclaimed that the shutdown of the Chinese plant was only a portion of the supply chain and that there were US based Nitromethane factories. He claimed that those had shut down and that NO nitro was produced domestically. Do you happen to know where those US plants are?? I'd really like to be more educated on this topic.
Thanks!
Alex,
I don't know the exact towns, but the two plants in the US one is in Texas and the other is in Lousiana. One of these plants was damaged and knocked offline years ago (by a hurricane if I remember correctly), but is now back online and working. Lots of people heard about the one plant in the US going down, but most never heard that it was repaired and producing nitromethane now.
