RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition
In searching the web I've found that there have been several other discussions concerning the mixing of fuels at other websites. None that I recall that were for the purpose of using a glow plug to ignite a methanol/gas mix in a two cycle engine conversion though. One site said that he was able to mix up to 30% gas with his methanol before it started coming out of solution. He also recommended WalMart's brand over Colman's for white gas. It was better filtered. Another site talked about using up to 3% acetone to help keep the methanol fresh, since it would absorb any moisture before the methanol did. This might make a pretty interesting mix to try with either a 40:1 or 50:1 oil mix depending upon the engine. I've got a number of engines in various states of being sacraficed but my spouse has other designs on my time instead of my playing with my toys. I'm interested in following up but won't happen until I get her house finished, next year.
