Here was my E85 adventure. Worked fine. I think a gallon glow fuel combined with a gallon of E85 (with 20% castor oil or some other oil) would work best. Or maybe add some bottles of HEET to the E85, then ya wouldn't need a battery for the glow plug. HEET is pretty cheap at Wal-Mart.

Did you know that Klean-Strip SLX denatured alcohol is half methanol half ethanol? Works great in all of my two stroke glows with a hot glow plug. That is what I have been using for a while now. I bought a gallon of castor from FOX and mix it at 25% with the denatured alcohol. Price per gallon with the castoris still like $17, but now all I have to is go to hardware store.
