    How to ship nitro fuel ?

    Does any one know if it is ok it ship nitro fuel in mail usps or ups? Do I have to do anything special when mailing it? I might want to ship to Hawaii but this might be by air. I have a gallon of 50% O’Donnell never open that I do not need and I would like to get rid of but unsure of safe shipping. Does anyone know if I can ship it by ground only or by air? Thanks

      You wont be able to use the postal service. Flamables are restricted materials.

          You can't ship fuels by air, which make Hawaii a real a challenge. In the CONUS, you have to ship ground and for a singel gallon its better to split it up into four quarts and ship. Teh hazmat fee is much lower. If you ship a single gallon container its pretty expensive.

          better off selling locally.

              DO NOT TRY THAT A huge fine and several years in jail over a $40 jug of fuel.

                Thanks all for the replys. I will go by UPS and see about extra cost shipping.
                If any body around St louis needs fuel let me know.
