You'll blow your motor apart

Don't do it

Replace your glow p[lugs if you really want to do something productive and not destructive

Most diesel tractors DON'T have glow plugs, I use starting fluid in my tractor and it works every time, but there are NO glow plugs.

Don't do it!

Have a great day,

Some diesel engines have heaters in the intake.. these can blow YOU up if you spray ether or staring fluid into them ..... Greg

I believe the damage can be caused the the ether igniting while the piston is coming up and bent rod city
