I'm not being pickey at all Chief. It works on some engines and conditions, not on others. The larger the displacement is, the less critical the ratios are for general ''sport'' use. Shrink down to K&B Infant Torpedo .020 or Cox .010 size and it quickly becomes VERY critical.
The oil goes flying all over the combustion space and the plug, and guess what, it will bond to the platinum glow plug element far faster and better than the alcohol will- result fouled or dead glow plugs.

Thanks JAK, I have a K&B Infant and a few TD .010's and I had not considered that.

You are welcome sir. It will kill your plugs deader than a concrete lawn jockey and once it is on there, there is no way to get it off that I know of that won'tdestroy any seals on the plug at the element or whereverthe element fixing is.

How much oil are you adding? For my 1/2a stuff I've been using Basher 20% nitro car fuel that has 16% oil, I add 1.5 oz. of castor to one quart which brings the oil up to 20%, it works great and I have never experienced a fouled plug.
You are the most fortunateof men!You are in Canada, correct? Try that down here in SE Texas in the heat and humidity (or cold and humid) we have here and it won't work.
