Default RE: Going Diesel

I have used spray can starting either with very good results in the past. A spray can will make about a quart of fuel. If you can get it you can add 2-4% amal nitrate (sp) to drop the crompression and smooth the ignition out.

Before anybody gives you their trick fuel formula try the old formula of 1/3 either, 1/3 clear kerosene and 1/3 castor oil plus your nitrate if you wish. It works pretty well and your engine won't overheat.
