Something else to think about. The glow plugs used in the very few so equipped diesel engines used in cars and trucks are only used to get the engine started. Once the engine is running, the glow plug is powered down and compression alone causes the fuel to burn. To simplify things, that basically means glow plugs have been found to be not needed for automotive use. Now, that said, IF you can find a diesel R/C engine, it will operate totally different than your .65 or an automotive type diesel
