Glow plugs

Glow plugs are only use on diesel engines. The heater tube on a glow plug heats up red hot in a mater of seconds (as you can see in the video bellow) and which then heats up the air coming from the intake.


Testing Glow plugs




Current draw  starts at 14A then decrease as it gets hotter to around 6A in 20 second.

Colour of plug goes red hot in just under a second.

The glow plugs we tested is in good condition. The glow plugs went red hot when connected to a car battery like it should.
