Yeap. Glow plugs are for cold starts and they also have oil warmers because diesels use much thicker oil than cars do and when it gets cold the oil has a tendency to get harder than most, so you pull the plug out of the front grill and plug it into a wall socket and there you have it. My second vehicle was a 1990 ford F350 4 door dually with the 6.9L diesel.

Doesnt answer my question though, if lower octane burns better, than why does reg gas (87oct) ignite from throwing a match in a small cup of gas, but with diesel (40oct) you must hold a torch to it to ignite it.
