You'd better forward that to Cummins. They've had ether as standard fit for longer than I've been on this earth.

Well I'm only posting what's out there to be found, demonstrating why discussion here can be "argumentative " shall we say. Like many heated discussions it's the interpretation or belief that drives the argument, not necessarily the facts.

However from where I'm sitting, I think changing the fuel type in a diesel engine by adding it to the air intake which makes the combustion earlier would be pre ignition as the ignition would be prior to the designed timing.
In other words spraying easy start/ ether into the air intake increases the compression and alters the required combustion ignition temperature resulting in an early firing.

I dont think it was actually that one, I have been looking through again myself and cant find the actual one I cut and pasted.

An argument about terminology; is what happens when ether is squirted in excess into a compression ignition engine sufficiently notable to deserve its own nomenclature and is it a good idea for it to have nomenclature which encourages confusion with a completely different event in spark ignition engines? It's premature ignition through the introduction of unmetered fuel, is calling it pre-ignition helping or hindering understanding this? I'd argue no because of the confusion it can cause(and has caused here).

Maybe I misunderstand your post, but pre ignition means premature combustion. Nowt to do with what caused the combustion weather it be spark or compression.
