you guys are missing the total success of the plan. Phone call after whunter left- "Hey boss, we were at lowes picking up the supplies you wanted, and the engine just blew on the old van! I have no idea what happened, but we can't make it out to the job. .....uh huh .....uh huh .....ok, I guess jake and bill can handle it today, we'll wait here for the tow truck. .....yup, ok. Sorry boss, don't know how this happened, everything seemed fine and as soon as it started it seemed like it threw a rod. .....yeah, its an old van, maybe it was time" .....thanks, bye. " after the hang up- "tow truck wont be here for 2 hours, that bar is where?"

That has to be one heck of a memorable experience. Please, next time you see something this comedic, take a video. Glow plugs are the best way to start a MB Diesel but when they completely fail me, I disconnect the GP system and use sparing amounts of starting fluid. Having a few working GPs and spraying half a can of starting fluid into the intake is not the proper way to start a Diesel with starting fluid.

They survived?
One or both will likely have children, if not already. Be prepared for the sequel. FWIW, both are likely temporarily deaf and may have permanent ringing reminders.

The least I expected was similar to this Diesel Engine Explodes at Tractor Pull Video | Break.com Tractor Pull Engine Explosion - YouTube All I could think of while (clock ticking) trying to make the 240D Move Fast: #1. Acetone, poured in tank. #2. Acetone, spilled on the ground. #3. At least four open empty Acetone cans laying on the ground. #4. The fuel tank cap is on the ground. #5. Every time the starter cranks = the brushes are sparking... #6. Every time they try to start the glow plug circuit activates.. #7. He is actually spraying Acetone into the intake manifold!!! Repeat after me: Fuel Air Explosion. http://www.freep.com/article/20130812/NEWS03/308120077/ Explosion In Warren Levels Commercial Building - YouTube Laundry Explodes Near Detroit, 2 Passers-By Hurt | digtriad.com Wayne, MI Furniture Store Explosion - YouTube Natural gas explosion in furniture store on Wayne Rd, Wayne, Michigan. - YouTube Explosion at Furniture Store in Wayne, Michigan house explosion « CBS Detroit True Fuel Air Explosive in Slow Motion (By AnonymousUploads) - YouTube No thank you, I don't need another physics lesson, go, go, Move faster 240D.... The only place I wanted to be is many miles away. .

I went to look at a Rabbit diesel pickup once, and the "mechanic" that was selling it (he liened it) gave it several shots of ether...it rattled to life, but I walked away.
