color=#0000ff size=2>That is true, but since all the fuel manufacturers already
increased fuel prices (GP & Horizon are the only distributors carrying
fuels). We won't get anything back this fall because of higher price
of shipping and the price will be going up again. GP even increased
price on my backordered fuels. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Powermaster's 20 & 30% DZ fuels are not even carried by
GP or Horizon, so those direct dealers for Powermaster fuels have to pay a
little extra to get the fuels. Beside that, there is a minimum order
amount. I've waited for the PM to call me, but haven't got a
call.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

stopped production of 30% fuels and 20% are available, but told me to ask my
distributors for fuels.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Fuels... <BR><BR>Combined with reports on CNN about the Chinese
government shutting down a LOT of manufacturing plants for pollution control
prior to the Olympics and this seems to ring true. It would imply that the
“shortage” is a temporary inconvenience until fall. <BR><BR>Anyway, PM
still has nitro and is continuing to make 30%

face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial>Yes there
is a shortage and pricing has doubled. Main reason is the Olympics in China.
They are trying to clean up ( severe air pollution ) and the also are closing
many routes for security reasons. We are OK at this point and still blending. We
have orders that are waiting due to quantity limitations. But these will be
completed next week. Also, all our of blends are available! There was a rumor
that the 30DZ was D/C 'd. No changes in our routine yet. Thanks for checking.
They are saying that this will resolve itself after all the China drama
resolves!<BR></FONT><FONT
