Here is the MSDS for an Australian made starting fluid containing 51~57 per cent Ether:
http://www.campbellswholesale.com.au...D319162125.pdf Apart from propellant gases the balance is "Petroleum Ether". Petroleum ether (or petroleum spirits) is a flammable liquid distillate of petroleum heavier than Naphtha, and lighter than Kerosene. I suspect it may be similar to White Spirit, which I have successfully used as a fuel base in my model diesel fuel. I will buy some of this product and try a fuel made from it, plus 10% by volume kerosene and 25% by volume Castor Oil. Could be interesting. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether
As a fuel[edit] Diethyl ether has a high cetane number of 85-96 and is used as a starting fluid, in combination with petroleum distillates for gasoline and diesel engines[8] because of its high volatility and low flash point. For the same reason it is also used as a component of the fuel mixture for carbureted compression ignition model engines. In this way diethyl ether is very similar to one of its precursors, ethanol. 34.6 C BP |

FROG 3.49D Marine
This is my FROG 3.49 D Marine, appears to be D.C. produced. This one seems to be very well made and still has excellent fits. The brass cooling jacket and flywheel make this, to me, an attractive little engine. I do also have an air cooled 3.49 D.

They are a nice running diesel.
The AC version was in my first RC model, a Good Knight. The marine version, I had one in a PT boat once. Plastic props often broke when setting the running diesel in the water. I gave mine away to a friend many years ago. It might show up one day on EB***. I had my name engraved on the bottom. |
