On the other hand, bulk is to be avoided if possible; in fact the Schneider Trophy fuel if it would give snap opening up would be rather attractive. I was going to run a test on it but thought I would get your views first. I hope to run off some tests in about a fortnight's time, and therefore if you can find anything for us to test by then we should be grateful.
