    They use nitro-methane fuel.The "model shop" on capel street in the city centre will stock it, or "boyz-toys" out at kart city in santry will have it also.
    If you want a good quality fuel then "starting grid" in dun laoghaire is the place to go.They'll give you a brand called "tornado" which i run in my cars and would recommend ;)

    wtf..

    Cut up some paper into note-shaped pieces. Pile them in a wad, and put a €20 at the front and back of the pile. Roll it up and place in your wallet.

    Go into the shop, ask for the fuel, and when they start to say the same blurb, withdraw the wad from your wallet, and tell them "Oh well, I was actually thinking of buying a new model today, but with an attitude like that, you can **** off" and walk out.

    Justice.

    good ideas,,

    the guy at the other end of the phone was stupid... when he said he wouldn't sell to me cos i didnt buy from him i was like !!! why,,, then i said,, Soooo if i walked into your shop and said i bought from here you would sell to me and he said Yes,,, what a d!ck... anyways, i'll get some from somewhere. if he doesnt want money thats his problem.

    and it's against the law not to sell to me cos i didnt buy the car from him,, but i wasnt going down that road,,,

    unfortunately he has the right to sell to whom he wants.
