Default glowplug recycling

ya know, with all the glowplugs we go through in this hobby, you'd think there would be a place where you could send your glowplugs where they would pull the bad elements from them, clean them up, melt them down and make new glowplugs with the new metal.....just a thought

nitroman ...do you know what the elemnet in the plugs is made from?

i think it wouldnt work though, cause look at all the real spark plugs that go right into the trash.
dunno give it a shot. id even send you like 20 of them, cause i just put them in this little box i got.

well I'm sure the metals can be recycled anyways... why not recycle them anyways? it could save a lot of energy

useless factoid: it takes 10 times the energy to make a new aluminum can then it does to recycle and reuse one
