Default gas/glow conversion fuel mix question.

Hello!

I've become fascinated with converting from a gas engine to a gas/glow engine and accordingly purchased an old Homelite 25cc engine from ebay. I also bought a glow plug adapter for this purpose.

Now, Iam looking for a way to get the recommended mixture of gas and glow fuel. From scouring the forums Isee that the recommended mix is 1/3 of 10 / 10 Glow fuel and 2/3 of 93 octane gas. Iam stuck because Ido not know where Ican buy 10 / 10 glow fuel. Ican easily get 15% nitro + 18% synthetic lubricant fuel or 10% nitro + 18% synthetic lubricant fuel at my local hobby store or even 20% nitro 20% synthetic oil fuel (YS fuel?)if Iorder it on line (less practical). So my questions are :

1. What is the best mixing option to use among the above choices at my disposal?

2, Is there a place Ican get 10/10 fuel (I'd like to start with a quart to test things out). Ifind nobody sells the stuff any more.

3. Any other practical options (maybe heli fuel - which Iknow nothing about)as a starting point ?

Thanks
