Default RE: Glow plug draw?

In my experience it depends on the temperature of the glow plug. A wet cold coil (e.g. when starting a flooded engine) may draw several amps while a hot coil may draw only 1 amp. The resistance of the glow plug coil apparently increases with increasing temperature.

I'd say plan on an average draw of 2A per glow plug.

Maybe someone else can give you a better answer.
