Premature combustion, which could destroy the motor and even total the entire vehicle.
first do not attempt to crank it. If you succeed in cranking or sparking it up once, you will blow up the engine ,yes litterally. example, on a construction job i had a caterpiller bulldozer that would not crank becauser it was 8 degrees outside. So, an old trick to overcome this is poor a LITTLE gasoline on a rag and wave it in front of the intake to the diesel engine, the result is it inhales the gas fumes and gives the diesel engine that extra kick to crank, remember were talking fumes here.Sooo, the guy i gave the job to did not understand the word FUMES and drenched the intake filter with gas and hit the ignition key. Lets say we picked him and engine parts up for a good 50 yards from engine. Hope this clarifies the problem.
