In internal combustion (IC) engines with a glow plug, the fuel mixture is ignited in the engine cylinder by a spark plug located in the centre of the cylinder head. To start the whole process, you need to have 1.2-1.5V glow battery (or another source, such as a Power Panel designed for this purpose) connected to the glow plug filament. The glow source must be able to provide such a current that the spark plug glows with a bright orange light, which you will see if you look into the cylinder space with the muffler removed, or if you carefully shield the spark plug placed in the glow plug terminal with your hand from the light. The ignition of the fuel mixture is caused by the high temperature of the filament and the catalytic effect of the platinum filament on the fuel. Once the engine starts, it is able to operate without further additional heating as long as it has enough fuel (and air). | In internal combustion (IC) engines with a glow plug, the fuel mixture is ignited in the engine cylinder by a spark plug located in the centre of the cylinder head.
