has blown out twice in the past week.

It's an 80amp fuse....where should I look? Relay perhaps?

My guess would probably be a bad glow plug. Have you tested them with a multimeter?

Shorted glow plug or insulation rubbed through on a wire to the glowplugs.

If one or more of the glow plugs were bad, would that cause the fuse to blow?

Thanks

Check resistance between plug terminal at the relay and ground. Set multimeter to the smallest posible range for resistance. All reading shuld be in same range and one will be 0 that one have the short in GP or in the wiring to GP. The plug at the relay have 6 terminals to 6 GP.
