    Avgas in Christchurch?

    I need to get some Avgas for my race bike, but I don't have a race licence. I've heard that the Waimak Challenge sell it. Is that true and will they want to see a race licence? Does any one know where I can get it without a licence?

    I would have thought you could take a 20L container out to the local friendly aero club and they'd sell you some. It's all money in the bank for them.

    You dont need a race licence to buy Avgas,you simply sign a bit of paper when picking up your 20litre container.
    Be the person your dog thinks you are...

    Its worth a shot I guess. I was under the impression the stuff was hard to get without a race licence though

    Yes you can get it from the waimak servo only in container. But it is not as fresh as the aero club or Helicopter place.
    Again they only fill containers.

    You can go to the helicopter place on Memorial Ave next to the roundabout as well

    waimak challenge just fill ya jerry can and pay the money, no hassles . Good turn over and tank filled ex avgas tanker every 2-3 weeks . There are other options , but not really worth phone calls or hassle

    . probably gets more regular loads, than a 50k site tank or a mobile heli tank.

    To dispel any doubts why not pour the stuff all over it and throw a match.

    I am told that avgas is very hard on engines, and proper race fuel is the best. (local long-time stock car bloke.)
