Sig model manufacturing markets this item and it is available in hobby shops. It is also available from a Pharmacy as I remember.

how did u get a glow wit no batteries?

[davideo4301]

@cow1324able These engines do not require glow plugs for ignition, because they rely on the heat of compression to ignite the fuel. They should be called compression ignition engines.

[nathanmeitzler]

How much do those cost and are they worth replacing with a glow engine????? How long can you last on one tank of fuel??? Where can I get one??? Please let me know I would highly appreciate it!!!!

[davideo4301]

@nathanmeitzler Sorry for my slow response. The engines are about $100 dollars each, slightly more than a glow engine of comparative size. The run time depends upon the size of the tank used, but because the fuel has a higher calorie content than glow fuel the engine will run considerably longer than a glow engine on the same amount of fuel. In response to your last question; I used a spray can type of ether and I simply sprayed it into a deep small mouth bottle before mixing.

what is kerosene and where can i buy it?

[davideo4301]

@MrRazmushenriksson Based I my limited research it is the same as number 1 fuel oil sold in camping and outdoor stores under the name kerosene.

@lilbrudder32 That is regular diesel that cheap. Model diesel is more expensive.

[lilbrudder32]

@nitroairplane I can't believe that's true. I paid US$3.699/gal for #2 ULSD this month, including road tax. I was just looking on the glow/nitro supplies aisle at my LHS last week, and I saw fuels ranging from $10.99 for a quart to $36.99 for a gallon. Why not make a batch of B100 next time you're considering putting your waste vegetable oil in the recycle/bin. If you count the oil as free, it's less than $1/gallon, give or take.

[lilbrudder32]

I realize this is very noobish... but having just recently got into the hobby of RC aircraft, I've started looking at diesel engine info. I realize that blending your own fuels may be economical or more fun for some. I would prefer to run mine on either #2 ULSD or B20 or even UMO/UVO blends.  Any of which, I have reasonable quantity on hand at any given time. Seems these engines should run as well (perhaps better, i.e. 5% UMO + cetane booster) as your lamp/castor/ether mix.

1. In England, kerosene is called paraffin.

2. PAW engines are made in England. Try googling them.

[MrRazmushenriksson]

Where can i buy castor oil?

[RCvehicleGuy]

@nitroairplane Whats in the fuel again? I think they run on like lamp oil or sommet don't they?

[nitroairplane]

@RCvehicleGuy no diesel costs slightly more than glow fuel.

@davideo4301 You can also replace kerosene with either high quality aeromotive or high quality automotive pump diesel.
