Default Flex Fuel

Was reading another post elsewhere and was wondering if flex fuel would burn in a glow engine? Has anyone tried it?

I thought that flex fuel refers to an engine with fuel injection set up to use anything from 100% gasoline to 15% gasoline mixed with 85% ethanol.

E85 destroys exhaust valves, even in so-called FlexFuel engines. It would, however, be interesting to see if it works. Some have used regular gasoline in glow engines.
