| I once participated in the use of ether to start a gas engine, and luckily was the one at the key. There was a tremendous explosion, and my friend staggered back from under the hood of the 62 Chevy. The oil pan was nearly blown off, oil everywhere, and the pan was hanging by just a few bolts at one end with the other end on the ground. Be careful with ether!!! |

Dave, your post about starter fluid reminded me that with the glow plugs not working on the old ford I could & did start most of the time only using the starter fluid when really cold it needed the combination of starter fluid & coolant heater plugged in to 110 v. I was careful using the starter fluid, and the motor was still working after at least a hundred starts when I finally sold the truck.
