Default Toledo RC Show - Fuel

Do they sell Wildcat 2/4-Stroke 10% Fuel at the Toledo RC Show and if so, how much do they charge for a gallon or a case of it?

Well they did last year. Not sure about this year. I think it was around 10-12 gal. I didn't get any but one of our club members did. His may have been 15%

I seem to recall that last year they made whichever big fuel company that was there, leave and sell outdoors.

I think all of the gallon containers only had colored water. When you purchased the fuel you had to go outside to pick it up. As I recall

They can't sell fuel from the show floor because of a local fire regulation.

I bought Wildcat 2&4 15% for $12 or $13 and they give you a receipt that you use to go around back and pick it up at the loading dock. No hassles and was actually easier than buying a case inside and lugging it back to your car. I just pulled my SUV into the loading dock area and picked up my case from the back of a semi.

If you get enough guys in your club you can buy a 55 gallon drum S & W fuel, any blend and any % for about 9 dollars a gallon delivered. That is what we do. We have 6 guys that split the drum. Good fuel, nice and fresh

I just called S&W a couple days ago. 15%, synthetic/cator mix, $330 for a 55 gallon drum. With shipping to RI it should be about $7.80/gallon.
