Thanks Greg, for the tip re ethanol glow plugs. That's going to come in handy. [8D]

Here in the city, while it still wasn't easy, I managed to get denatured ethanol along with commercial batches of Biodiesel. It was my intent to mix and mess with all of the volatiles we use in that glow fired, adjustable compression Norvel .15 that I have.

The summer's running season is just about over though for this year but next year, it's going to be fun. I've acquired six .15s in various states of new to totally baffed. With real conrods and spare pistons, I'm going to have lots of opportunity test a dozen or more combinations of fuel mixes, with glow, and without. What if all it takes is 10% methanol (or ethanol) to make glow assisted diesel to work. We might find advantages we didn't know were available.

Stuntguy,

I had got the ethanol to play with just to try making it work as a regular glow motor. But as I said above, your comment has inspired me to take that further. Thanks for that.
