I've never been able to find a courier that will supply from me to a customer, not even the same couriers that would supply me from suppliers. Good thing nitro's not my thing though I suppose

Ive always had my Nitro delivered.
I think couriers will only take a maximum of 2 Gallons as that has always been the limit when ordering from Model shops.

I live about 20 minutes from Huntingdon and I dont know of any shops close by. My 'nearest' shop is Moto Arena at Silverstone, but thats about 35 minutes drive for me so probably be nearer 55 minutes from you....

I have registered with three online retailers though and between the three I have always been able to find what I need in stock.

The three in question being JE Spares, Modelsport and MK Racing.

Im sure there are probably many others but I can speak from experience when I say that these three have always been excellent for me.

If it’s any use we have got Nitro fuel in stock, and based just outside of Bedford.
Unfortunately we are the same as SLD and haven’t been able to find a courier that will take it yet, but only just started looking.
Usually have Ammo, Byrons, Nitrotane and Race Prep fuel in.
If you need any more info let me know, info@futureworldmodels.com or 01234 826950
Thanks, Russ
