Fuel delivery on 3208 and coolant check questions

[davidkerryedwards]

I wasn't thinking of using ether above zero, but in extreme
circumstances. I had my MB out a few weeks ago at 35 below and it
wouldn't start. It has no block heater. I wouldn't use ether on an
indirect injection diesel but it was my understanding it did no harm
on direct injection diesels. I used to operate a 1937 NorthWest
crane, and it was never started without ether.
Considering the fact that both the engine and generators are diesels
and we wild camp a lot, plugging in the diesels to start at low
temperatures is not always an option. So, I just want to develop
skills at low temperature starting. I can usually start my MB's with
no block heaters down to about 10 below without a problem.
