That sounds like a really strong Greek mixed drink. Fuel for 2-stroke
engines usually uses castor oil.

hehe....
Ouzo is for pansies.
Anyway, I have never heard of fuel that contains olive oil. I know nothing
about your fuel other than I personally wouldnt use it.
Try a reputable name brand fuel with maybe 10% nitro and REPLACE THE
GLOWPLUG.
A new plug is like rebooting a computer. Whenever anything is wrong, thats
the first thing you do.

cook with it and see what happens when it heats up!!. Second you mention 90%
methenol...what abour Nitro???
