Waikato aero club, Steele rd, Hamilton. Open monday to saturday, not sure about sundays. Cash or eftpos, no need for race license, fill your own amounts.
$3.30 a litre. Call for opening hours 07 8435655. Go into reception, tell them you would like some gas, they will give you a clip board
to fill out (self explanitory) and a swipe card. Go out to pumps, swipe card, start filling, fill in the amount of litres used, go back in and pay.
Just dont take your full can of fuel back into reception when you pay, they get a bit nervous about that. There is a gate to exit by.

Jase... ya have a bed sorted for Puna round?

My understanding of the Ruapuna setup is that it's fresh low lead 100 - which is avgas nowadays....
The drummed stuff from the odd sububan garage is however, overage avgas.

And Ruapuna does not have AVgas it is expired race fuel... that from another mate that delivers to the air port and the one and only Waimak servo.
