Default RE: Fuel? Glow plugs?

James.. If you are killing plugs that quickly you are running too lean.. surprised you didn't kill the second plug.. Same as an airplane, if its cold outside you want to richen up the HS needle just a bit.. 1/16-1/8th.. because the air is more dense, you need more fuel.. plain and simple.. the reason the maxx stood on the bumper was because of the overly lean condition.. it shoud still do this, but hopefully not burn up $8 plugs.. Hate to tell you this, I usually get around 1/2 to a full gallon out of my plugs.. Lean kills them... running slightly rich doesn't...
