Mark,

Let me suggest a remedy that actually is recommended by Caterpillar as the starting procedure for old indirect injection Cats like my old D6. If you have a good starter and battery (a must) leave the fuel shutoff until you turn the motor over for say 10-15-20 seconds then turn it on (however) and it will probably bust right off. On my D6 with a pony motor, I pull the throttle all the way closed and get it cranking over against compression which heats the cylinders without fuel. Once I start getting a little smoke from the exhaust, I give it the fuel and off she goes. I've cranked it in 10 degree weather and never used the first shot of anything. Of course the pony will turn it a lot longer than a starter but you get the idea. What happens is the fuel cools the cylinders down while cranking, but cutting it off lets it keep more heat in the cylinder. Try it and see before resorting to the explosives!

Hope this helps!

PS Deep six the propane idea; I think too much can go wrong. A little ether done right would be better IMHO

Tommy
