RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85
E-85 is a new fuel that is being sold optionally at gas stations in some parts of the country. It is composed of 85% ethyl alcohol, and 15% gasoline.
I tried it in our Gas/Glow experiments and couldn't get it to work very well. It doesn't have the methyl alcohol necessary for the catalytic reaction with the glow plug. That's why I'm very interested to see what OS has done to be able to run it in a glow setup.
