Re: [diesel_mercedes] Cold Starting.

 

I blew out a head gasket on a generator once, last time I used it. Your right. With a worn out engine, maybe. In fact when I first bought my 1959 190D the people were using starting fluid. Diesels are funny that way, worn out would not start unless warm, but driving it the power did not seem any different after rebuilding it. Max

The compression ratio is way too high to use Starting Fluid, I'm told. I have heard of people using spray can 3-In-One oil. Nate?  Bill in Oregon

Curious, my old chev with a 6.2L diesel warned against using ether (starting fluid) because the glow plugs may cause the ether to light up and damage the engine.

Any one have any experience or theories about using it with our Mercedes 5 cyl engines?

I know I know here in Mazatlan the block heater shines every day, but will soon enough be back in the land of below freezing.
