Or at least disable the Glow Plugs first. They tend to work as Spark pLugs. It's perfectly safe to use Starting Fluids in Diesel Engines, but NOT with activated Glow Plugs! A bit of Starting Fluid can save a lot of wear and tear on starter and batteries. I've been doing it for 30 years in extreme cold. If Starting Fluid won't fire it up, you'll need to heat it. Not for amateurs, so I won't go into any detail that may lead someone to do something really expensively wrong.
