Here, http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...m.htm#10741432 I've started a thread about the Enya that uses a glow plug and gasoline for fuel with no methanol in sight. We know that gasoline can be used with a glow plug as long as there's some methanol in it to let the catalytic reaction to take place. The gasser guys have been doing this for years. They also run the usual 40 to 1 and even 100 to one oil because gassers have bearings on the rod.

This Enya has the usual bushings so it appears that the oil is the key in that respect. This MAY allow us to mix a methanol based fuel at very low oil percentages. That will mean more power and mileage.

I have the glow plugs and fuel on the way and will get started immediately and report back. I will also, naturally, try the oil in a diesel mix. Perhaps 20% ether, 70% kerosene, 2% CB and just 8% oil.

Norvels are notorious for having better mileage than any other engine due to the nature of the unique metallurgy. Diesels on their own are not thirsty engines and add to that this special mix and who knows?
