I live in the DFW area and am asking if anyone knows of a local (to me) source for Nitro...either premixed or not and is less than $85.00/gal? Thanks

Go to vp and get you a 5 gallon nitro 50-50 and buy a gallon of klotz techniplate. Add the oil to the 50-50. You’ll end up with 6 gallons of 40% and spend around $42 a

VP lists their 5gal of 50/50 as back ordered.....not available for the last couple of months. I agree it would be my choice. Just wondering if there is any other source?

John otto at technology hobbies has fuel I would email or call him and see if he can mix you some. He just got a ups account so shipping will be at a better rate too now.

Would you happen to have an email address or phone number? I could not find either on the website.

Did you call??? Or just go off the Internet.
I just gave you the easiest and by far cheapest way to get 40% fuel.

James, try hyperfuel in Houston for raw materials to mix your own.
https://www.google.com/search?clien...=HYPERFUELS&shndl=30&source=sh/x/loc/act/m4/3
Also, Ritches hobbies (Ritches brew) in Houston… I think they ship UPS..
They will mix any percentage of nitro and oil you need. If you know Ronnie King in Dallas, PM him about it, I know he uses Ritchie’s, and probably can fill you in on how to get some fuel..

I will pm you his info since site seems to have someone hacking it .
Ritchie’s Brew is great fuel 
️ especially if you order
the right oil package. We have used his fuel for years
here in District # 2 in the Midwest, and we like the fuel
and the pricing is really good as well. We pick it up at
a hobby show in Toledo, Ohio every Spring.
Great Fuel,
Mark Sholund

Ritch's Hobbies.....that is a name I have not heard in more than 2 decades. When I lived in Houston, I worked for an auto shop about a block down the road. I purchased the engine for my first RC boat (an OPS 67 super) from them and at the time, it was the only place I bought fuel. If you don't know they are there, you could drive right by. WOW.... thanks for letting me know they are still there. I just might drive down and visit my friend at the shop and stop in and buy some fuel.

Ritch's Brew web site is http://www.ritchsbrew.com/rb.html
Randy Ritch is who runs it. He's in TX, but not sure where. Your best bet is to call him. He's not real good on returning emails. Up until this year, I handled getting the Michigan order together for the guys. It's good fuel, I have never had any engine issues due to fuel going back over 10 years now. He will mix it any way you want with oil content or just tell him you want the same mix he does for us.
I'll PM his number to you.
