If your excavator is hard to start, chances are the ether canister is empty. Have your mechanic check it out to be sure. Changes in temperature form condensation in the excavator's fuel tank. That means you have to drain the fuel/water separator before the day's run. Not draining the separator will leave water and crud (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) The basic processes that are applied to data. in the vehicle's fuel system.
