Don't even think about feeding gasoline, or propane to a glow engine[X(]
The result would be a blown engine, and one long stay at the the ER, or mourge

I sure wouldn't trust a glow-fuel spraybar carbureator on the front of my models with gasoline. One backfire or splatter onto a hot manifold and you're a meteor or brush-fire. You'll still need to add oil to the gas as they need lubrication from the fuel. I think they lack enough compression to flash gas/air fumes so you'll need either a magnito or an electronic ignition.
I'd go for diesel instead. Much safer and easier.

This has been done many times, usually not very satisfactory in engins less than 1 cu. inch. You have to change the carb (regular glow orfices and needle valves allow to high a flow rate making them difficult to adjust) and add the spark plug in place of the glow plug then add either electronic ignition or a magnetoe (an expensive addition). Probably not worth the cost and time unless you just like to experiment which can be good and self rewarding.
