EDIT: Oops, I just realized you said pure Castor. That is half castor with synthetic.

   And argue and tell you how stupid you are, in my experience.

    Powermaster and SIG both make this, should be straight off the shelf.

the Sig 15% all castor is only sold in gallons

another source is Ritch's Brew
http://www.ritchsbrew.com/pricing.html


He will also custom blend what ever you want and even sell the oil components like UCON LB625

I have been buying fuel from them for years and never had that problem.

  I did, too, and it was very convenient, until they basically wouldn't sell castor oil to me, and gave me some sort of BS lecture about their proprietary super oil over the phone. And that "all castor oil is bad". Theirs *was* bad, but no one else's was. Then they referred to Tom Dixon as a "top CL stunt engine expert" at which point I gave up.

   I don't know what it is about fuel people, they almost always have some nonsensical proprietary super-something but won't tell you what it is, like there's a big market for methanol-compatible 2-stroke mix oil and you are out to steal their pot of gold. I know people love magic but really, come on.

   I have no issue with anyone buying stuff from FHS/Red Max if you can get what you want, but I sure as heck won't buy anything from them and certainly won't recommend them to anyone else.

I agree with Brett on this one , I live ten miles from  FHS (Red Max ) and wasted my time trying to get good stunt fuel from them.

Well with a good percentage of control liners shifting over to more synthetic lube, should not be an issue getting fuel from them. 
I just ordered 10 gallons of all syn, will add castor if needed.

I buy fuel from RedMax. I have bought 50% nitro with all synthetic, 25 and 35 % nitro with all castor, 65% nitro with 15% propylene oxide and 20% synthetic oil, 5% nitro with 28% all castor, 5% nitro  20% all synthetic.....
He has never done anything but say " OK, we'll do it".
He also NEVER says 'gallon'. He only sells quarts.
There is no hazmat surcharge, we must assume because he ONLY sells quarts of fuel.

George Aldrich once told me that he made a lot of money repairing engines run by rc guys who said they only needed 16-18% oil in their fuel........

Y'all need to contact Excalibur Fuels in Avondale, AZ (Mark Smith).  He will mix anything you want.  He supplies fuel on-site at the VSC and other major S.W. contests, and he ships too.  Contact: rainydaysmith(at)cox(dot)net.

RedMax has always given me excellent service and a quality product. I can't recommend them highly enough.
