Hi sscherin ,
The ethanol won't keep the glow plug going. Might work with fulltime battery. To run 85% ethanol with ignition or glow, you may need to modify your carb for more volume. You will need a bigger tank too. You may get more power. I thought about it and decide that it didn't offer any advantage. In San Antonio it cost about the same as gasoline.
