Wormy 8 Posted November 9, 2015 Would like to know where to buy Methanol from? and should it be a particular sort or mix? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mop Top Wop 1 Posted November 27, 2015 SHOULD BE 100 % PURE METHANOL IF POSSIBLE .... NOT LESS THAN 98% PURE .... Depends where you live as to where is best to buy it from. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormy 8 Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks, live in Lincolnshire and have seen some on amazon but ideally would like to pick up as won't be using loads until can get out practising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mop Top Wop 1 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Where are you planning to do practice ? I presume, Scunthorpe ? Most tracks will have a supply of methanol available to purchase. Or is it that you need some before then ? Where abouts in Lincolnshire do you live ? Edited November 28, 2015 by MopTopWop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Leslie 3,213 Posted November 28, 2015 Used to be able to buy it from any decent-sized chemists. (I haven't bought any for a long time though) If they ask what you want it for, tell them it's for your model aircraft club. They used to get a bit awkward if you said it was for Speedway bikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormy 8 Posted November 29, 2015 Thanks Live in Grantham but Scunthorpe is good for now but Leicester and Peterborough both do practice dates. Will be few and far between bike will eventually sit in conservatory as an expensive ornament that I will take out and play with now and again.😊 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormy 8 Posted December 1, 2015 Ran out now so got to get some soon, online prices are high and reasonable prices are too far to travel! Needs must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
