Club Fuel Purchase

Fuel Purchase

Mike Meitus picked up the fuel and will be bringing it to the Monday March 3rd meeting for distribution.

The club fuel purchase is now over.

The club discussed the 2008 fuel purchase. After the meeting the club was contacted by Cindy of Al’s Hobbies who indicated at as of March 1^st, all fuels were going up in price by $2 per gallon. As a result, it has been determined that the fuel purchase will take place at the February meeting. Any members wishing to participate in the purchase will need to bring their money for their purchase. Cindy has indicated that all fuels will be priced until March 1^st at the bulk price she offered last year. The following is the price list. We will post an order form on the internet site (see below) and have forms available at the February meeting.

I did some "quick" Internet research into into what these different fuels are used for. This may or may not be totally correct so please email me if I got it wrong. Mike R.

What is the shelf life of the fuel?
Unopened and stored in ideal conditions (between 60-80 degrees) it will remain usable for several (5-7) years.
Opened would vary according to how much moisture the fuel has sponged out of the air. Keep it capped.
A quick way to ruin a gallon of fuel is to drain your tank at the end of your flying day back into the fuel jug.
