engine fuel primers 1969 T337D

Used them to hand prop engines when I left the masters on and battery dead. Flew to a nearby airport that had a fog had battery charged enough.to start and get alternators on line. Went back and got my passengers. Remember if you have no voltage you have no gauges radios and electric fuel pump. The alternator restart would not work . With a dead battery no way to pull in master relay so battery stays insulated.

Here is the information on engine primers from my owners' manual - 1966 Super Skymaster.

This indicates they are meant for Cold Weather starts.

thanks for pointing that out. I was looking in the fuel system description, figured it had to be there. There is the same recommendation in the cold weather operations section of the 1969 T337D POH. mystery solved
