"Ether is not good for a diesel engine." No, it isn't good for routine use.

But when your options are staying out for an extra week, hitting a lee shore, or trying to finance a tow boat, sometimes "not good" becomes a different pecking order. Everything is relative.

A diesel engine itself is "no good" unless it can be started. Worse, it is smelly and heavy, too.
