My black rubber stoppers are not going to be happy to hear that.

Its one thing to use wishful thinking
to figure by the time the 15% Gasoline was cut with oil and glow, it'd be more like just 5-8% gas.
But with it starting as 30% gas,
them lil rubber stoppers will voice their resentment in the form of swelling, gunking, & disintegration
I think thats the risk you have to take when doing a gas/glow mix. Not much different than the o-rings, diaphragms, and gaskets used in gas engines wont stand up to alchol and vice vera. I've never ran gas/glow yet, but now that I have a ringed engine I may try it. I was going to try some other alcohols too.
