In what way is the diesel fuel that these use different than what is available at gas stations?

its a mix of ether, kerosene and castor oil. %'s vary by engine type, plain bearing - more oil.

Toledo in April. Otherwise check with Fields hobby in Buffalo. They might be able to get it for you.

PM me if you need to mix your own and want a few recipes.

Do a search for diesel fuel here on RCC.
You'll get a lot of hits and many recipes.
The subject of making your own surfaces here every year.

But getting ingrediants like Amyl Nitrate, ignition booster, will be a problem.

I got some from Davis Diesel quite a few yrs ago. Don't know if they still have it. Came in I qt. can if I remember and it was mixed as such where you added another qt. of kerosene to get the right mixture.
