Title: Diesel Fuel
Post by: FLOYD CARTER on January 25, 2018, 05:18:05 PM

Not able to find a source for model diesel fuel.  Tower Hobby is kaput:  Davis Diesel doesn't ship.  Sig has discontinued diesel.

Does anyone know of a source?

I just got( last week) a quart of diesel fuel from Al Heinrich. Not sure he ships. Check the SAM page for contact info.

Hello Floyd before buying ingredients from the diesel team race flyers I would make my own with starting fluid like John Deere sells as it has a very high ether content and is easy to find. Starting with about 40 percent starting fluid and 25 caster and 35 kerosene and adding a couple of percent diesel ignition improver (as used in trucks) Regards Gerald  :)
