Left ignition on in diesel car overnight will it effect glo plugs?

If only the ignition was on with no other appliances running you may be lucky.
But the glow plugs in summer are not that critical. It could well be that there will be insufficient power to turn the engine over

Spark plugs cause the ignition in Diesel engines?
No, spark plugs do not cause ignition in diesels. The fuel compression causes ignition
Why diesel doesn't have electric ignition system?
No spark plugs in a diesel.
What type of engine uses compression ignition as it has no spark plugs?
a diesel engine uses compression and has no need of spark plugs
Do diesel engines require spark plugs?
No diesel engines use the "heat of compression" to cause fuel to ignite not electrical ignition.
What is similar to a gasoline engine except it has no spark plugs?
A diesel engine has the same internal components and works off of compression ignition, not spark ignition.
Where is the spark plugs located on a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel?
The main reason of not using the spark plugs in diesel engines is because of the diesel having a low ignition temperature. At the end of the compression stroke the pressure and temperature values achieved are sufficient to ignite the diesel which is sprayed into the hot air in the combustion chamber.
How do you Change ignition for ford e350 diesel cube van?
Not sure what you mean by change the ignition on a diesel, diesel engines don't have spark plugs, spark plus wires, coil, etc.... If you are asking about the ignition switch, it is mounted on top of the steering column on most pre 2000, after that they are located in the steering column.
Does ignition coil exists in diesel engines?
No, there is no coil or Spark Plugs. Ignition takes place due to heating from compression of the fuel/air mixture. Some diesel engines have a "Glow Plug" for aid to starting in very cold weather.
What is the minimum cranking speed fo engine?
(i) Reciprocating spark ignition engine 60 to 90 rpm.(ii) Rotary spark ignition engine 150 to 180 rpm. (Hi) Diesel engines with glow plugs 60 to 140 rpm. (iv) Diesel engines without glow plugs 100 to 200 rpm.
What is meant by cetane number?
A cetane number is a rating given to diesel fuels. It is a rating of how fast the diesel fuel ignites under compression. In diesel engines, there are no spark plugs and the engine uses compression (pressure) to cause ignition.
Is there any way to convert a diesel engine to gas?
Realistically it wouldn't be feasible to convert a diesel engine to gas. Diesel motors require much greater compression - enough that it could cause an explosion with a gas-configured motor. Plus, diesel doesn't use ignition or spark plugs, and the fuel pump/fuel ignition systems are completely incompatible.
Does a diesel car have plugs?
No , a diesel engine doesn't have sparkplugs It could have glow plugs
