Glow plugs

[Ty Ty]

Anyone with a diesel got some used glow plugs lying around that I can snag? I'm being crafty, and need to conduct an experiment with them.Basically, I'm just looking for something that gets really hot, really fast, doesn't need a flame, and is reusable.

i don't have any to spare, our truck has 5 0f 8 that work, but you have my interest now. what you trying?

Just trying to see if they'll light a fuse.

A glow plug will be more than enough to light a fuse.

Without a voltage controller on the plugs the plugs will be able to go over the norm operating range.Normal Glow plugs range from 850-1100 C. Way more than you need to light that fuse of yours.

By the way. I can get you some long burn fuse if you need some. That way you don't need a glow plug.

I'm just being crafty. Setting up a rig with a power souce and momentry switch. Hold down the switch, plug gets hot, fuse lights, let go of switch, redo a minute or two later.
