The propellant is a flammeable gas, I believe it is propane, VicS will tell us which one. This is the component that will fire the easiest.
Actually, seems the auto ignition temp of Propane is much higher than diesel. Counter-intuitive I know, but VicS pointed it out a few weeks ago after I made a post about petrol in diesel to initiate starting.
If it were me, I'd sail the boat into a nearby marina so I could get reliable shorepower charging for cranking the engine. And easier to get some clean diesel to try starting from a can/ new battery/ helping hand from nearby boats.
