As all of you know that have viewed this forum I've been searching the maritimes for Glow Fuel this spring. The only source on mainland NS is Mighty Small Cars (MSC) and they will have to order it in. Even Great Hobbies don't have the Qty we are looking for.
On another thread I posted MSC's pricing for fuel (they cannot get 5% nitro) and they only use Morgan Fuels "Cool Power" glow fuel.
Here is a copy of that post:
"I dropped into MSC today on my way home from the Aviation Museum at Shearwater. I have a price quote for both 10% and 15% Cool Power fuel. This is all MSC carries.
The 10% for a Case of four would be $130 + tax That would break down into $32.50 + $4.88 = $37.38 per gallon
The 15% for a case of four would be $150 + tax That would break down into $37.50 + $5.63 = $43.13 per gallon
They can't even get 5% fuel. They put in a weekly general order every Sunday so if you want anything within a week you must submit it before 5pm on Saturday to get it the following week."

I'm willing to do the leg work and put together the order and if you would like to share a case of fuel with other people I need you to reply to this post with 'number' of gallons and percentage of nitro (either 10 or 15 %)
Once I have enough interest for a minimum of two cases I will start collecting the cash. Once all money is collected I will place the order with MSC, they should have the fuel within a week or so after the order is placed by MSC.
I cannot stake the money up front for anyone as I just don't have that kind of cash. I know a few of you are looking for fuel so here is your chance to get in on the order.
NOTE a case must all be the same percentage, so 4 x 10% or 4 x 15% only
To start everyone off I require 1 Gal x 10%
Name Number of gallons Percentage 10 or 15 % Total
Kevin McKay 1 10% $37.38
Dennis Bellefontaine 1 15% $43.13
Dennis Bellefontaine 1 15% $43.13
