Default RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85
What are your thoughts on this mixture. 3 parts E-85 and 1 part 20/12 glow fuel. This gives the following:

Nitro - 5%
Oil - 3% (33:1)
Methanol - 17%
Ethanol - 63.75%
Gas - 11.25%

I have ran gas/glow with good results, but I am only able to get 20/12 glow fuel, and I needed to mix methanol along with gas/glow. I want to find a mix that I do not have to buy straight methanol for - but still use the 20/12 glow fuel. Will the Ethanol burn "easier" than gas?

Thanks
