Hi guys,
there's quite a lot of what appears to be good and desirable Jetex stuff on eBay at the moment, for example:

Jetex motors on eBay

However, the early Wilmot-Mansour motors are shown with Sebel pellets. I'm uncertain if these are shown just for advertising purposes or these are included in the lot.:S

DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO USE SEBEL PELLETS IN ALUMINIUM ALLOY MOTORS.

Sebel (and Jet-X) pellets burn a lot hotter than the old ICI pellets.

If you do put Sebel pellets in the older motors, at best you will end up with a burst and ruined motor, at worst serious injuries from fragments of hot metal.:woohoo:

So: the motors look to be great collectors items, but only fire them up if you have the right pellets!
