Just for insurance, I also dumped in more Diesel911 and filled up at the station I used last winter.

Thx
The 1.1 ohm reading itself indicates a questionable glow plug. As for the inconsistencies, I'd question the quality of the battery powering the meter. Particularly with DVOM's, a weak battery will cause some pretty strange readings.
