In Response To: Re: Cold weather and Diesel advise (thuddd)

Chiles: Rather than gas, try a cetane booster. Cetane is related to ease of starting. I use Diesel Clean that you can get at Walmart. It is also a lubricant and if you buy it in the white bottle it will prevent cold weather gelling. Stanadyne is also excellent (they make a lot of injector pumps). The general consencious on the Ford diesel truck forums I monitor (mostly www.thedieselstop.com) is don't use gas. I've heard WD40 is easier on the diesels than ether, but the heavy equipment I have owned all came with ether injectors. I'll stick with the WD since I usually have it handy anyway. Rawleigh
