I don’t understand the push to make an ether-less fuel?!? A can of JD ether can be had for around $5 and one can is enough to make a quart of model diesel fuel. If there was a miracle replacement for diethyl ether, it would already being used. We wouldn’t need any “space age theory” threads about it. Yes, model diesels will run without ether once warmed and run on an ether-less fuel. But is the extra abuse on the engine worth it? I mean, seriously? Who flies diesel planes on WD-40 and mineral oil?
