Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Guess you missed the part where I experimented with E-85. It won't work. The E-85 is 85% alcohol, but the alcohol is ethanol, not methanol. The glow plug needs the methanol to work. After lots of experimenting by all of us here, the best mix is 10% oil/10% nitro glow fuel, mixed with high test gasoline. 1 part glow fuel to two parts gasoline. That glow fuel is commonly sold as fuel for Super Tigre engines, by nearly all the large glow fuel suppliers.

Good luck,
