One of the main differences is that diesel engines rely on the high temperature created by the compressed air to ignite the fuel. If there is doubt that a glow plug can be removed without damage, then if accessibility, circumstances, and time permits, then apply penetrating oil around the glow plug, then a squirt of engine oil. If one plug has failed, it is extremely likely that the remaining plugs will shortly suffer a similar fate.
