I don't know but it does a great job on your face and hair when you get grease on them. I hate scrubing my face with hand soap. Don't they call that extreme exfoliation?

I know nothing about diesels ,I know the batteries are charged ,there is fuel in it,ground wires appear to be good ,anyone have any ideas?thanks for the help......... I really dont think it the starter or any of the starting parts it seems like compression lock??? is that possible ?

Did you have any luck figuring things out?

Half the trucks , tractors and machinery in this part of the world wouldnt start without starting fluid in the winter time.
Its like anything else it has its purpose if properly used.
