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.
