I got it from a place which is located behind the shell on the rd just south of moss st in springwood they sell it in 20L drums same street as all the car yards on the left if your heading towards Brisbane. Cant remember pricing but you run it as a mix with optimax 2/3 or 1/3 I cant remember that either. cheers Regan

Only 12psi, so its pretty lazy power at the moment. can't wait to wind it up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
