Sir, I shall appreciate your assistance and information about the following.

I started building model aircrafts some where around 1958. In Pakistan we used UK built diesel engines which run on Ether anaesthetic, Kerosene oil and motor oil mixed in about equal parts. Glow engines came later. The fuel is very expensive there so I purchased a litter of Methanol/Methyl alcohol to make my own. I have an old Enya .30 and a new OS 40 engine not used much. When I attempted to mix a little engine oil with a few CC of Metahnol, it would not mix at all. I was assured it was the purest wood alcohol available and made in Germany. My question is how do I make the oil mix with the Methanol. Which oil should I use for the purpose? I used a 10W30 variety.

I shall greatly appreciate your help.

Motor oil will not mix with methanol. You will require to get caster or a synth oil such as Klotz to mix with. 20% oil mix will get you started. Motor oil is mineral oil, Methanol is a vegetable fuel.
Cheers.
