I wasn't there at the time but on Monday some space head came into work looking baked and bought up our entire stock of Fuelite (only about 12 1 litre bottles). Pulled out a wallet with an inch thick wad of hundys to pay for it.One of the boys called the police.Would you have!

Nope I would not have in this situation. He is a paying customer and how or why he is paying would be irrelevant to me personally.

Nope same type of prejudice that gets people arrested after ignorant comments are made judging people
How does the other person know or not if that guy just sold his prized vehicle and had the reddies in his wallet after it - I have done that before (not buying the fuellite lol) but walked into a shop after selling a car for $12500 with cash in hand and paid for stuff then left
All i got was jealous looks lol .
Was this guy swiping in mid air saying "No i don't want your ghost barbeque" !

Haha, no, but living in Northland we know someone who's stoned out of his tree when we see him.

Only because he doesn't stand out.

Now, would I have called the Police. perhaps if he drove there. But I'd expect nothing to come from it anyway.

If he was he must have been REALLY REALLY stoned.The demo derby is at Easter.

Yea I think I would have let them know, the reason being although it is not my business what someone else does, I feel that society as a whole needs to take responsibility for reducing things like drugs and crime and not just take the "it's not my problem" option

Well said.

In my workplace, ALL sales of fuelite have to be recorded in a ledger, with either a passport or D/L number, rego number, and this form faxed weekly to Police. This applies for quantities of less than 3L of Fuelite. Anything over 3L, and the purchaser must fill out a form including company details (if applicable), address, and intended usage, and this form is to be faxed IMMEDIATELY to Police, so 12L I would think the Police would be extremely interested in.

forgive my ignorance, but what is fuelite used for! And how come I'm the only one that doesnt seem to know!
henderson_guy,
Dec 28, 9:09am
It's a precursor in the manufacture of methamphetamine. EDIT** Also legitimately used as a cleaner/degreaser

Dec 28, 9:21am
Sure! **DISCLAIMER** Drinking Fuelite may cause severe hangover symptoms, but nothing worse than your mates homebrew bourbon!

I thought maybe matches or spark plugs but na, they don't come in bottles so I was going to google it if no-one answered lol.

Gawd, I used to buy it by the gallon.
I used to run my Model A on the stuff - a whole heap cheaper than petrol (no tax), the garage opposite work had a pump for the stuff.

so fuelite is just a brand name!. like it used to be called Shellite from shell, or something like that. Thats like going back to the days petrol stations had kero in the pump.
