Default RE: if your glow engine was in your car

ORIGINAL: KeroPower



I have been following this thread for a while and a glow engine in a car would definately be interesting. After some pondering I have come up with the following plan:

Step 1: Buy a small flex fuel car with a small 4 cylinder enginesuch as a Ford Focus or something.
Step 2: Go to the race track and buy a 55 gallon drum of methonal for about $175.
Step 3: Make glow plug adaptors to replace the four spark plugs.
Step 4: Put an OS F plug in each adaptor.
Step 5: Wire the plugs together and have an on/off switch on the dash.
Step 6: Power the plugs off the car battery with some kind of regulator like what is in the power panel of field boxes.
Step 7: Fill tank with methanol.
Step 8: Turn on glow plugs.
Step 9: Start car and let it warm up.
Step 10: Turn off glow plugs and drive.

Who is going to be the first personto try this?

It has been done, in fact with a special glow plug that is patented.
