wvarn1957-RCU, Thanks for all the great info and research. It sounds like the 25% methanol, 5% acetone, gas mix is the key then. I think I will modify a weedie for as much compression as I can get, and give this a try when I have the time. Having an on board glow igniter would defeat the whole purpose of the exercise, so the key is if we can get a reliable idle on just the glow plug. Where do you get methanol and ether? Thanks again for all the effort.

Antslake, I don't know of any way to get the water out once the alcohol has absorbed it. Years ago my father used a product called "Dry Gas" to treat gasoline that had gotten water in it, but I suspect it was nothing more than alcohol itself, which would then absorb the water that was in the gas.

Take care,
