  • good fuel deals?

    'Just curious if anyone has spotted a good deal going on nitro fuel (where they will post).

    I am on my last bottle of Magnum 12% now and have been happy with it but thinking about trying something different anyway and have not really started looking.

      Hi,Dont need any at the moment but speeking to moyesboy a couple of weeks ago he said the best deal he could get at the moment delivered was Rapicon, he gets through quite a lot but uses 30% dont know how competitive the 12% would be. Rapicon can be purchased on ebay. Worth a look!
      All the best STEVE.

                  That's a really good price! I am surprised.

                      he gets through quite a lot
                      ...in the summer. It'd be nice to actually burn some sometime.
                      when looking at the prices you have to do the sums on the bottle capacity. Magnum and wildcat are a US gallon, rapicon is slightly more than a US gallon, and Optifuel is a UK gallon I think.

                      When I last bought it rapicon 30% was cheaper than magnum 20%. It seems my bearings are lasting well on Rapicon.

                        Optifuel is in 5ltr bottles (the big ones)
                        Rapicon is in 4ltr bottles

                        Just in case any one is interested the measurements are as follows

                        1 UK Gallon = 4.546 ltrs
                        1 US Gallon = 3.785 ltrs

                        So just check out the price and convert to price per Ltr to compare.
