No those will not work the glow plugs are M10x1.0 snap-on makes the best one I've found yet you can screw it in without interference from rockers as as the hose is integral to the tip pricey at 100.00usd I don't know what that relates to in bills with the Queen on them but here it's worth it just to loose the hassle. Good luck!

Brian,
Have you got an old glow plug? Cory (Ziggy) made an adapter out of an old glow plug. I followed suit. Was pretty simple. Removed the heating element, then ground the corners off the hex and used a 1/8" NPT female tap to cut the threads. It will screw right into a standard grease gun hose.
