Default RE: I converted a glow engine to run on E85

ORIGINAL: the mother of invention

I tried some E85 and 15% cool power 2:1 with additional 10% Klotz synthetic oil. Used an O.S. F glow plug and it ran very well. Up and down the rpm range on an O.S. FP40. Then mixed straight E85 and 18% Klotz synthetic oil and to my surprise is was smooth as silk. $2.49 a gallon for E85 and a little bit of oil and a new small 2 stroke fuel for my arsonal.

Next I will try it in a Saito 150 and will let you know. If that works on to a Super Tigre S2000 and a Super Tigre S61.

Any body else has any new mixtures?
I guess you could call this a Gas fuel with Glow ignition you are using. Do you know the contents/specks of the E85 you use? Is all E85 about the same mix and quality? Thanks Capt,n Capt,n
