Decalin fuel additive supplier in Oz

[petercoota]

I'd like to find a source of Decalin in Australia. Aircraft Spruce sell it, the freight cost is greater than the product cost.

I emailed the maker in the US, they referred me straight back to Aircraft Spruce.

Is there an alternative supplier in Australia

Thanks for the link, Skyshop didn't come up when I searched!

Both the search engine and browser you use will affect your search results. The particular browser or search engine you use will only return "favoured" sites, and ignore useful sites.

Even Google is bad for this, their search algorithms are tuned only to the sites they support and which sites support Google. 

You have to use multiple search terms, swap the search wording around, and go through at least 5 or 6 pages of results to find what you're looking for.

Good point, I didn't think to change search engines, let alone browsers. Walrus saved the day & I've ordered some from Skyshop.

Is decalin the right stuff? several months ago, there was detected a change of avgas formulation and it was for the worse....  does anybody know about this?

 

[petercoota]

In doing my research I didn't come across this, but keen to know if it's an issue.

 

I've been forced to use Avgas in some circumstances recently so wanted to try & reduce the impact by using Decalin.

 

Let us all know if you find anything further please,

 

Thanks
