It might be a current capacity issue.  That wet cell can put out more amperage than the drycells.

In the RC world we have glow plug engines burning gasoline. Enya 180X-GS and Norvel GX-40. For years it was my intention to try gas with plugs as I know the platinum is active with virtually all hydrocarbons ( platinum is after all the used in the catalytic converter in your car). The Enya hasn't been popular due to cost, but the Norvel has seen reasonable sales and it works.

Thanks Chuck for giving us yet another idea that works nicely.  I'm going to file this one away.

This is a typical model airplane engine glow plug, yes?

Cheers,
Phil
