Isn't the problem with bump starting a diesel only if it doesn't have enough power to open the fuel solenoid?
Although with enough speed it should turn the engine at least once and hopefully give enough power for the solenoid to open.
Remember, a petrol engine stops because when you turn the ignition off, it stops the sparks.
In a diesel, it cuts the fuel flow.
And after WW3, you'll be grateful for having a diesel
