Some people tell me that this isn't "proper", I say so what. This is how I
start all my Diesels, pedal to the floor until it starts to take off. Of
course there is a correlation between the age (in hours) of an engine and
the volume of clouds of white smoke that rolls out for the first minute or
so! Burning straight #1 (in the winter) in a smaller engine (2.4L) really
helps also, maybe you know more aobut this but I've heard you should burn
less and less #1 as the engine gets bigger, is that true?
All this aside, there just is no substitute for an engine block heater for
easy cold weather start ups.
