Ok then that says other fossil fuels won't work either since I don't have a source of ignition other than heat; but why isn't heat enough. What is the cetane rating of diesel and how does that compare to octane in terms of flash point; or maybe that only specifies burn rate, not flash point??? Confusing.

I don't have it and don't use the tractor often enough in the winter to justify the cost to purchase it and the cost of electricity to keep 1000 # of engine warm. There has got to be something less violatile than ether that will work. Didn't someone say they used WD-40 as a starting fluid when it had propane in it.....which I'm told it doesn't anymore?

Mine is Texas boy with blue (mostly) tractors (1000 series Fords). Mark
