Can anyone help me with an online shop or RC hobby shop in Delhi that sells methanol in small quantities (1-5 litres)? I am looking for cost effectiveness while buying RC fuel. 

P.S.: I know rcskyhobby.com sells tornado nitro fuel but that is quite expensive 4L @1600/-.

Thanks in advance!!

I am starting a new thread since I couldn't find any other recent ones.

An Industrial chemist can arrange it for you ~Rs. 500 for a 2.5 L pack.

I have about 20 L in the hangar. If you want are most welcome to take some.

PS: That would be just methanol. If you're looking for fuel, you'll need to arrange castor (and optionally nitromethane) separately.

LR (Lab Reagent) grade is fine.
HPLC expensive over the top

2. After run oil/lube and any local alternatives ?

visible and chemical locha Wink

1. Plain castor, works for me. Klotz and Mayuraa chem have synthetic additives which have their own advantages.
2. After run from anywhere is good. Singer machine oil works great as after run and glycol (coolant) works well for cleaning up gummed parts.

cox 049 will most likely need nitrometh given the cylinder volume. You might want to speak with Sundaram sir for guidance on the cox. Speak with Ethiraj sir (Mayuraa) for nitromethane Thumbs Up

All the best

Singer machine oil is sold buy singer for oiling sewing machine - Check
plain castor - Check
LR methanol - Check (for now but need to replace with economical one)
LR nitromethance - Check (need to check rpm with zero nitro then may be 2-3%)

contact Mr.Sundaram - Check

Got LR nitro-methane 250ml for 395/- (5% tax inclusive).

Most likely source for castor oil ? as all the kirana shops and marts located near my office don't have them  Cry .

Methanol on its way.

Castor oil is best, so far, it helps to keep engine clean, and can be cleaned by cheap usage washing powder, than petrol or diesel, due to Castor oil , other lubs leaves hard carbon even spoils piston , due to long time left over uncleaned carbon
