Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

Nope.... Been there done that. E-85 doesn't have the methanol needed for the catalytic reaction with the glow plug. I tried and couldn't get it to work well early on in our experiments with Gas/Glow.

I've been reading about your adventures with converting engines to E-85. You might try using a glow plug with full time glow power. It might work with E-85, and would save the trouble and cost of the ignition system.
