If you are going to use either disable your glow plugs first it is possible that a glow plug can ignite it at the wrong time and damage in the green form can occur.

never got wd-40 to work right,ether isnt dangerous unless you soak everything with it and only use a little bit it goes a long way.if your glowplugs are off its no big deal.some diesel engines have ether injection instead of glowplugs.you can also use a gas soaked rag over the intake.i would try the hair dryer over the intakeand see if that works
