I'm having trouble finding 50% or better Nitro localy and on the internet. Red Max has no Nitro, Power Master doesnt return e-mails and i cant find a local shop in the great big town of Houston that carries the hi percentage boat blends or any blends for that matter...
Anybody know where i can get the good stuff on the internet?

Thats Unreal, I buy alot of stuff from them and looked twice and it didnt come up. Only problem i see with them is they ship it as gallons where as Red Max will sell you a gallon and ship it in quarts. Ive heard the shipping on the gallons is outragous now. Thanks :cheers:

I kinda know what you mean. I rung it up at tower! It wasnt that bad $9 to ship the stuff and a $20 somthing dollar EPA surcharge. The have a $20 off coupon that would ease the pain a bit.
Is the O Donnel pretty good stuff? What color is it....red?

I have been using Johns fuel for around 15 years ....very consistent , excellent fuel . I run his VMF blend 60 % Nitro in everything except my .21 engines , they get the HOT Blend as he calls it 70 % Nitro . John is a major supplier of fuel to District 3 and The Fuel Man down here !:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I purchased a case of the ODonnel 50% and it runs real good but have been told the 70% really wakes them up. I'll have to give John a call next round.
QUESTION.....Most places have discontinued anything over 50%!
Are you sure John will still make the good stuff and will he ship it? Thanks....

I get mine delivered to the lake on race day, but I'm pretty sure he is still shipping with no problems last I heard.

X2 for John Otto....He can make anything needed....his fuel is great, though....I ran his 60 and 70% and couldn't ask for better. He is a nice guy to boot, and is very fair on pricing....
Nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning !! :thumbsup::D
