I replaced my 102mm ones with Blueprint plugs. I tested them before they went in and also re-tested the ones coming out (not sure which brand these were). The new ones glowed for nearly double the length of the glow area on the old ones. Not sure if they degrade in time or they will have always been like this. Although only one plug had failed the black exhaust smoke (only on start up) was getting worse.The Great Pretender wrote: It is possible to get longer hot bits to make starting easier. Elsbett fit them when doing a single tank veg oil conversion to improve cold starting. [/color]
