If used right starting fluid will not harm a diesel engine. As stated DO NOT USE STARTING FLUID WITH GRID HEATERS OR GLOW PLUGS

if you look at your old tractor that had a ether sprayer on it it probably wont have glow plugs or a intake heater. it probably also has precombustion chambers in the head

like i said before, unplug the heater relays so the heaters cant come on.

"if you look at your old tractor that had a ether sprayer on it it probably wont have glow plugs or a intake heater. it probably also has precombustion chambers in the head"
no 5.9 cummins have pre chambers and yet in some applications still have ether injectors from the factory. and its not just old tractors, there is equipment that is current production that has ether start aid as an option
there is no reason not to use ether when it is necessary as long as it is used properly

Its the people that think you have to spray half that can in there all it need is a light mist, for a second over the filter.
