Fuel Dye - What to use?

[Pabs]

Hey folks,

The fuel I use (Bekra) is a good fuel but the colour just isn't strong enough for me to see the levels in the tanks without landing...

Has anyone used dye, and are there any alternatives or does it have to be specific model fuel dye?
I hear people using food colouring or ink from a printer, some stating water-based so not advisable... Just wondered what I could use?
Thanks

MT bright red dye is good and fairly cheap,got 1 and a half bottles here you can have for £5 posted?

That's the stuff I will prob end up using as cant find any others available... Think it's about £3 a bottle isnt it?

[Nick B]

Yes,think i paid £3 a bottle,not using it now,just sat going to waste!

Dont get it on your fingers!!!!! LOL

Yeah MT do one, I used to use it with my old raptor and a flying wing to keep an eye on fuel level. Makes it much easier to see.
