I see that you have the explanation how they work. I apologize for
the 'rtfm' comment. Thinking back I was in the same position when
someone told me that diesel engines don't have spark plugs...well, not
after they are running at least.

They don't have spark plugs before they are running either.

He's referring to glow plugs for starting, obviously...

Nope. The old ones (TD6 and a T20 McCormic Deering in my case)
started on gas (in the same cylinders).
