DON'T PUT ETHER IN THAT MOTOR!

sorry greg, but this is REALLY important.  You do NOT want to put ether in
that motor, it'd an IDI motor with glow plugs, you are asking to cause
damage to the motor if you put ether in it.   The esteemed Mr. Donnelly will
hopefully chime in here on this, but I'm not counting on him seeing this
quickly enough, and I can't quote the BB about it, where I initially
remember seeing it.  I do remember, it is *very* important to not put ether
in the SD-33 if you want to actually run the engine.
