Where to get ether bottles?

[vtach]

Anyone know where I can find the orange 'ether' bottles for the cold weather starts?

 

[WillWagner]

Don't know if they'll be orange. NAPA, any truck part place, truck dealer, etc.

I think Spruce Mountain had em....

I bought some from emmado22 at the mta show, He might still have some

 

[vtach]

How much are they? They are used only for very cold weather starts correct?

 

[emmado22]

Mine are all gone, sorry.

I got mine at NAPA, but I do not remember how much it was. Most farm equipment dealers have them also.

Why not just leave the empty one on the firewall and keep a can of starting fluid in your toolbox? It will work just as well and is cheaper. I am all for authenticity, but no one will know. I had ether start on the HEMTT, but I never even tried it (even though the guy that sold it to me replaced the ether start cannister). I also don't use the pre-heater on the M809 series truck...just give 'em a sniff of starting fluid in the coldest weather (in MD) and they start right up.
