On a tractor I drove it said do not heat [use glowplugs] if you're going
to use ether.

You used too much.
I worked on a farm and we had to use ether all the time to get things
running and I never broke anything. One time I sprayed too much in an
engine and it revved really [way too] fast, but it didn't break
anything. But these were large 500 ci IH in milk trucks, and smaller

Never use starting fluid in a diesel engine
You cannot ski in minus 40 degree Celsius, if you do not cover all parts of
your skin. I sincerely suggest that you stay inside and do not take the
risk of severe skin damages. If you get such extremely low temperatures,
mix you diesel with 10 to 20% kerosene, but only for that occasion. In
Why not just use fuel line heaters, and tank heaters if necessary?

Actually, when I lived in Canada, we did ski in -40. It was great
because there were so few people on the hill. I loved it. BTW, -40 is
both C F, it is the point where they meet.
I had a 1/4 ton truck that was diesel, we used to just leave it run when
it got that cold.

It is nice to hear a ski lover, because in these temperatures it
is very dangerous if you do not now what you are doing. But
you are right, it is nobody in the slope and with the right snow
and sunny it can be great. Already at minus 25 C you have

Try buying an Optima battery:

and don't forget to put some winter additive in your diesel (there's nothing
worse than spending the winter in the parking lot due to a frozen fuel line)
