  That makes alot of sense. Elemental silicon should precipitate out as a solid onto the element, coating it with a thin layer of glass essentially. The glow battery will light the element but the catalytic reaction (between the platinum and alcohol) that sustains the glow would likely be curtailed.

    I was reading an article today about glow plugs in Model Airplane News. The writer stated that adding Armorall (silicone) to your fuel was a kiss of death to your glow plug. He said, it will still glow brightly, but the silicone kills the chemical reaction on the coil.

      I have heard that adding a capful of Amorall to a gallon of fuel eliminates all fuel foaming.
