you must only glow for about 3 seconds at 12volt or you melt the glow plugs.

Later 2H has 12V (well 11V) glow plugs, if you have it hooked up to a manual switch you should be able to fit these so you dont melt them. Just make sure you use a heavy relay wit the switch, otherwise the switch will burn out in no time.
