from where? (from what I know only tornado is the ready made fuel available in India)

Pros like Girish get their own fuel made through chemists...

P.S.: @Girish: I still need to collect some from your hangar!! (hiding under a chair as I type this) :P

Well.... you too may make your own Fuel for your glow engines.... just get some Methanol and Castor oil from the local Chemist and mix them in 80:20 ratio.  No need to add any nitro methane till you need that extra kick from the engine....  For general use plain fuel without the NITRO is good enough.  I done that for many many years and so can you too.

-corrected.

For general use plain fuel with the nitro is good enough.

@shobhit17 sir,
You may like to edit that  ;D

How much does castor oil cost and which one do you guys use generally? I figured that the combined cost with methanol turns out to be equal to a 1% nitro 4 litre can priced at 1600 bucks at rcskyhobby.com

I bought castor oil @ Rs 160 per kg (sold by weight here in Bangalore) nearly  equal to a litre - enough to prepare 5 ltrs of fuel.
