Hi,
I imported one of the 508D military ambulances that L.Jackson Ex Nato was selling to New York City where I live.
I've had it since April and has thus far been everything I expected and more.
Also not as slow as I thought it would be.
Anyway with winter approaching I'm a little concerned about the lack of glow plugs even though I've read on this forum that if my batteries are in good shape
with the direct injection it shouldnt be a problem.
I know my 85 mercedes 300 with glow plugs can be hard to start if it gets much
below 20F without block heater plugged in overnight.
Is it advisable to cut my fuel with kerosene in the cold months for a little extra cold starting insurance and if so what is a good ratio?
Thank you
Sam
