Ford F-350 Diesel Glow Plugs

Glow plugs are components in diesel engines that play an important role in engine start. As a matter of fact, even though both gasoline and diesel engines utilize internal combustion to produce the required power, their function is slightly different. One the most notable differences is the ignition system. While gasoline engines have spark plugs to provide the needed sparks to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chambers, diesel engines utilize highly compressed air, with temperature that is high enough to burn the fuel. If your Ford F-350 is a diesel truck, you probably know that starting a diesel engine can be a bit hard, especially in cold climates. Thus extra heating is required, which is provided by the glow plugs.

In direct-injection engines, the glow plugs are located in the combustion chamber, while in indirect-injection ones they are in a pre-chamber, where the high temperature promotes the ignition.
