I like the idea of inline heating of the SVO, but... The size of the fuse does not regulate the current in a glow plug; it only breaks the circuit once the current exceeds the fuse rating. The simple formula V=I*R is helpful here. Or turn it around to I=V/R. Measure the resistance with a

For example, if you have 1.0 ohm on the glow plug and 13V on a battery, then the glow plug wants 13 amps. In this case, a 10A fuse would simply blow immediately. The power requirement would be 13A * 13V = 169Watts. but be careful - i don't think it's quite that simple. as the glow
