Sam mac I've had plenty of diesel experience. From tractors to trucks. You are right and wrong, you can indeed spritz fuel through the intake to get them to run. Had a Ford with a 3208 cat and that was the only way to start it on a cold morning. Also had a Yanmar tractor that you would have to do it too if it was hot and you went to restart it. Oh and had an 85 chevy with a 6.2 the fuel pump was weak and wouldn't build the pressure to fire, a squirt in the intake and she was off to the races...

If you say so. Guess I know nothing about diesels.
