Re: Nitro?
From another forum (US):

<I buy my Nitro from my local VP race fuel distributor. In the Spring the price was $156.00 for 5 gallons. Check out the VP site for your local dealer... http://www.vpracingfuels.com >

Re: Nitro?
Ken, looks like you're trying to make your own fuel. Getting it shipped or across the border will be an adventure-and-a-half due to te natre of the chemical.

I'd suggest drag-racing supply places to see if you can find a local supplier or dealer tht has the necessary quality needed for model fuels.

I alraedy have the nitro. It's not the same as the 60% stuff you get here. This is 99% pure nitro bought directly from Morgan Fuels in Enterprise Alabama.

Just wanted to get a ballpark value if I I decide to part with it.
