I think the idea came out from captinjohn but has not been continued for no particular reason (it started [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4095331]almost two years ago[/link]).

than [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=6505573]18 months later[/link] wingspan99 tried it having some results, but the discussion faded away. Now I see there is another topic about it [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=6479059]I converted a glow engine to run on E85 [/link]. I guess I ned to have some reading. There is not much difference for me as E85 is still not available for bublic access within 500 miles from Sacramento [:@]


Edit: After reading this thread (I converted a glow engine to run on E85) I don't see much benefit from replacing gasoline with E85 in the gas/glow mix. The main reason I see is the carb setting issue. E85 needs to run much richer, and at the end you may end up with replacing original carb with th high-flow one and your milage will go to drain. It will be still better than running pure methanol, but not as good as gasoline.
