No "blanket statement" is perfect and most everything has exceptions.
Referring to engines with "glow plugs" confuses some people. That because many call the electric air-heaters in DI diesels "glow plugs." And DI engines do not have precombustion chambers that crack like egg-shells under ether load.
No terminology is perfect, I guess. Some IDIs are rated OK with ether - like a Buda 344 used in Allis Chalmers crawlers. But many IDIs differ in design. The Buda has no glow plugs and calls its chambers "energy cells." They came factory equipped with ether injection.
