Re: [MBZ] Diesel model airplane fuel
Penray sells 40% starting fluid. $25/dozen cans sounds reasonable, if putting more heptane than ether in the mix is OK. https://store.industriallubricant.com/products/penray-hd-premium-industrial-starting-fluid-case#collapseOne The propellant is CO2, so it goes away by itself.

Dimethyl ether is probably what MMM needs for his planes and shouldn't be so expensive: "Dimethyl ether: An aerosol spray propellant.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel model airplane fuel
Is there any reasonable excuse for ether to cost $200 a gallon? Hey Mike, I've got a couple of Tower .40 engines if you'd rather experiment with E85 and a little nitro.
