Default RE: Substitute for Ether

Hi Everybody,

Youre experiments are very interesting. Great work!

Can you please consider and comment on using automotive diesel (pumped into cars) mixed with a little automotive gasoline along with suitable lubricants to run either glow or diesel engines. It would perhaps be easier to experiment on glow engines first because heat can be given to ignite the mixture easier than with pure compression alone. I specifically want to know the results of this automotive mixture of diesel and gasoline because it is the cheapest and most available of all, directly from the pumping station. You have done great work in proving the pure kerosene/lubricant mixture, but I am interested in car fuel as it is the cheapest of all. By varying the proportion of gasoline, the diesel may substitute for the kerosene as the main component, while the gasoline acts like the ether, contributing to ignition. My challenge to you is to come up with a suitable proportion using only these components.

Thanks.
Great modelling.
