	The glowplug
		A hotter plug with a thinner glow wire is less durable with high nitro percentages then the colder plug with a thicker glow wire.
		Because of the additional heat which is produced when changing to a higher nitro content fuel, the easiest way for a glow plug to withstand this higher heat is to change to a glowplug that uses a thicker element, in other words, a "colder plug".
		If the plug body (the part surrounding the element) is wet and the element is shiny, and in its original location, then change to a "colder plug" (assuming that your engine temperature is on the cool side).
