Glow Plug
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Glow Plug, also known as a heater plug, is a vital component in diesel engines. Its primary function is to heat the combustion chamber to facilitate the ignition of the fuel-air mixture during cold starts. The Glow Plug is a small device that is installed in the cylinder head and is powered by the battery. When the ignition key is turned on, the Glow Plug heats up to a temperature of around 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, which in turn heats the air in the combustion chamber. This process helps to reduce the amount of time it takes for the engine to start and reduces emissions. The Glow Plug is a critical component in the diesel engine, and a faulty Glow Plug can cause a range of problems, including hard starting, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance and replacement of the Glow Plug are essential to ensure the smooth operation of the engine. When replacing the Glow Plug, it is essential to use a high-quality replacement part that is designed to meet the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer. With proper maintenance and replacement, the Glow Plug can help to ensure the reliable operation of the diesel engine for years to come.
