Default fuel problems

I am a soldier in Iraq and I brought along my rc10gt and my tmax so when I had some time I could run them in the desert well all worked good till the 2 gallons of fuel that I brought with ran out and when try to order some from tower and horizon the two of the most popular stores I find out they will not ship over seas so I must ask dose anyone know how I can get fuel over here? so I can run my trucks.

Can a family member or friend in the States ship you quart-sixed bottles? I believe their are no hazmat issues on quarts.

There is a member in the Savage forum that is stationed in Kuwait. Maybe you can somehow search on members in Kuwait (his location lists him there).

Or pop into the Savage forum and see if anyone knows him. He might have a solution. All Savage trucks are nitro powered, so he is running nitro.

Quart sized nitro fuel can not be shipped by air (to Iraq), it can only be shipped by surface only, probably USA only - this is classified by the Department of Transportation.

Gallons sized nitro fuel cannot be shipped by air, can be shipped by surface only but requires a Hazmat fee, which is impractical for mail or web orders, probably cost more than the fuel.

There are two members here in RCU from Iraq, maybe you can PM them and ask them were to get supplies.
