You can spray as long as the motor is spinning do not spray and then turn the key on and intake heater my ignite and go boom . So get the motor spinning and give it a spray and you will be good. The old GM diesels the plant would start them with a rag soaked with gas and ring it out and let nothing but the fumes will sucked in and don’t turn lose of rag and this one’s the first v8 diesels that were junk and I knew guys buying these brand new and pull motor out and put a 350 in it and brink top dollar !

[@Banana_Johnsonn]

@@stetevenmolnar9365 you do know the all mechanical 12v’s still have ECM’s and PCM’s too. They all do. Difference is the 24v has computer driven fuel systems, if you P-Pumped a 24v then you basically have a 12v that’s 10x better. The only trucks imo that have 0 and I mean 0 computers, would be the 6.9 idi, and Chevy’s/Detroit 6.2 & 6.5’s diesels. And maybe the 7.3idi. Anything after has some sort of Electrical computer part on them. Otherwise the 12v’s wouldn’t have PCM replacements.
