That I've posted before. My dad had a diesel generator where he worked that had frozen up and was hauled to the scrap field at Mine 33, in Ebensburg, PA. He had the engine hauled back to the machine shop and filled the cyinders with diesel fuel. Everday for about a week he would take a battery and bump-bump the starter. Then he tried to take bets whether it would start or not. No one would. After the second try the engine fired up. When he left the company it was still running.
