Hi Randall
That is absolutely correct, thanks for bringing it to our attention. Guess
the best part of the list is the way one posting will get Auto (other people
on the list!) Corrected!

| Otto cycle engines are quite a bit different in this regard than Diesel
| cycle, starting "ether" won't harm them as long as you don't try to put a
| load on them.  When applied to a diesel, the "ether" (actually it's
usually
| a mixture of light naphtha and mineral oil) ignites before the piston
| reaches TDC, which causes the extreme bearing load.  For a lower
compression
| car engine, it waits for the spark and then burns reasonably normally.  I
| use it frequently on recalcitrant engines.
