If that doesn't work, then you try some!

at least ya put the warning in...

lemme make it plainer...

unless you know exactly what you are doing, NEVER INTRODUCE ETHER TO AN IDI (glow plug style) DIESEL ENGINE!!!!!!!

the instant explosion of the ether can bend rods, shatter pistons and other bad things you don't want in your car...
