Heck, the last gorilla knob and salt shaker glow plug mechanism Benz I'd seen (Jim Harris w110) took about 4 minutes of glowing and reglowing the plugs before it would start stone cold. What makes ye think 30-45 secs is enough? With primitive diesel starting mechanism you can pretty much pull the knob, return to house and pour yer coffee then return to find plugs glowing.
