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?
Hellow: I was going to try the E85 and Klotz oil mix in a .60 Supertiger or one of my other simular size Glow engines. I did talk with one person about trying using E85. It may be the fuel he bought...but he said it stuck the carb barrel on his engine after setting only one day! Maybe a after run oil is needed. Did you have any trouble with sticky carb barrels? thanks Very much, Capt,n
