gary davies-jones Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi, Anyone out there know where I can get diesel fuel in or around Swansea? Or come to that just ether will do the job then I can mix my own. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You used to be able to get non-anesthetic ether from a chemist... Worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDF Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 A model shop that stocks Model Technics fuel should be able to get diesel fuel for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Somebody else was asking a very similar question recently. Following a quick 'google' the thread is here and was asking about diesel fuel in the Cardiff/Newport area. That can't be too far from Swansea, can it? Though nobody came up with a suggested supplier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary davies-jones Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Suppliers of model technics fuels will supply it, but only if ordered by the case ie 6 cans at a time. Chemists no longer seem to be able to supply ether, or almost anything else come to that. nanny state again. ARRRGGGHHHH! We are obviously all to stupid to be trusted with poisons or flamable substances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Try this chap on ebay. He does other sizes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Interesting, Chris! I see he ships it by "Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard." I thought you couldn't send fuel by post, which is why online sellers have to use couriers and normally only sell fuel in boxes of 4 1-gallon (or metric equivalent) containers.

John Olsen 1 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The reason that the chemists can't stock it may have more to do with the drug pushers using organic solvents to make some of their evil preparations. The result of course is that the legitimate user can't get it, while the pushers never seem to lack the stuff they want. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any sense, just look at the last couple of pages to save time. Thread here. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
