RE: Priming with ether is not strictly neccesary..
I will just say, that is so neat. Cool!
I need to mix up some etherless fuel and give it a go in one of my engines too.
Thanks for all the information about this too. I know some others contributed too, so I thank them as well.
Our American gasoline tends to have ethanol in it, so I don't know if that would be an issue or not.
I was also wanting to try some Coleman Camp fuel (naptha) out and see if it works Ok instead of gasoline too.
My largest compression ignition engines are a Fox .45, a MVVs 10cc and a Super Tigre G90. The fuel should work out well in the bigger engines for sure. Plus it would be much less in cost as well.
