RE: the great ether debate
Probably not nowadays in the USA. Glow engines and gasoline ignition engines have the market dominance. But for diesel engine users like many of us here in the forum, we would be interested.
For me Gasoline stinks too much. Plus it doesn't wash off either you just have to wait for it to wear off over a longer time. Model diesel fuel isn't as bad as the after combustion residue smells a little but the mild kerosene odor isn't bad and it washes off fairly easily with Dawn dishwashing detergent. Of course glow fuel is almost odorless and is not annoying of course.
So some concoction that involves mixing and matching different fuels to achieve a fuel that works is most interesting, but if it stinks too much then it probably won't be popular.
