The earlier topic about about Diesel tank heaters by bc got me to remembering a Ford Diesel tractor we had in the shop for overhaul one winter. After overhauling the engine, it was a bear to get started, the. mechanic working on it just couldn’t get it to start on ether. Temps in the lower 30’s there in the boot heel of Missouri. All it would do was knock with ether sprayed in the intake and lock up. So we left it alone overnight and the next morning, I suggested something different; I wrapped a shop towel around my hand; soaked in gasoline, and to get the engine to start, I would gently squeeze a few drops of gasoline in the intake.

Several of the guys in the shop didn’t think my method would work, but it did. A coolant tank heater was added and when needed, we would plug it in overnight.
