Question:
Why are you not allowed to use starting fluid on diesel trucks?
Answers:
truck won't start its -12 here?
it wint hurt the glow plugs
Why new break drums can make noise?
You can use starting fluid on some diesels, but only if they do not have glow plugs. On diesel engines equiped with glow plugs for cold weather starting the glow plugs can be damaged from the use of starting fluid. A good substitute for starting fluid is WD-40. However this can still damage the glow plugs. Best to plug the block warmer in if so equiped.I have a leak in my plugged tire and have to fill it up every day. Short on money now. Soultions?
Because diesels have glow plugs that will ignite the starting fluid in the intake manifold, effectively turning your intake into a pipe bomb of sorts.drys out the cylnders
I dont know where you are getting you info. I am in the trucking business and would never have a truck started in the dead of winter if it was not for QUALITY starter fluid. Always read the direction and never put to much in an engine.
can i have a small block engine on a 1985 skylark limited?
i own a repair shop,and you can use it on them,i dunno who told you that you cant ,but in the real cold weather it will make them start also, its not as effective as it is on an gas engine ,but it works ,if you not supposed to do it,then i have been breaking the rules for 20 years now,good luck,i hope this help,s.92 infiniti g20 has frost on pipes under hood...?
did you know that diesel has to be comprest so it is that hot to fire up!! stop thinkMy car needs help and I have no money for a big repair?
gas engines compress mix of gasoline air. in a relation of 8 to 1 that mixture is ignited by an spark.How do I stop the breaks on my car from squeaking?
diesel engine compress only air in a rate of 21 to one ( at lease 21)
or 25 to 1 at that moment fuel is injected (direct to combustion chamber) and self burn in the hot air.
when You use staring fluid 99% of the possibilities is that the piston will never reach the top will back fire.and brake the connecting rod.(or at lease bend it)
if your truck is under warranty ,You might lose it instantly
can new tires affect gas mileage?
Starting diesels with starting fluid is allowed, but only in very small amounts. Too much can actually damage the engine due to the high compression of the engine.yes you can use starting fluid in it it tells you directions on the can it will not hurt it are blow it up all the glow plugs do is heat the cylinders. it cannot blow up without combustion. so when you turn the key and wait for the glow plugs to heat up. the starting fluid just helps with igniting couse it will ignite upnder lower pressure than diesel fuel will.
some of these answers are out there. You can use starting fluid if it is really needed. The engine can get addicted to it and have to have it to start. Sray in the breather and your fine.
