strongly suspect is probably not available in your area. I also don't think
you want to use it unless you make it yourself.
What do you mean by making it

Hi,
As I've found it nearly impossible buy small (1-2 litres) amounts of
pure methanol here, in Poland, I've taken closer look at model fuels.
They mostly contain methanol (40-85%), castor oil, EDL synthetic oil
and additions.
Now, castor oil might be even good. EDL definately not - luckily not
Hi Rafal,
Maybe this model-fuel is meant for 2takt engines,
and thats whats the mixed-in oil is for?
If it's only oil, you mite be able ( if you've got equipment)
to distill the methanol out of it;
but is this stuff water free?
And I'm afraid that modelairplain-fuel is way to expensive

I have been mixing my own model airplane engine fuel for the last 12 years

20% oil of various make ups. I eschew castor because it gums things up

Yes, it is typical 2-stroke engine fuel.

taxable consumable.
