A starting aid for a diesel engine comprises a tubular member which in use extends into a combustion space of the engine, a spirally coiled heating element which is located in the end of the tube and which at its inner end is connected to a conductive rod. The outer end of the element is connected to a length of conductive tape extending substantially normal to the plane of the heating element. The tape at its other end is electrically connected to the tubular member. Conveniently the length of tape is formed as an extension of the tape forming the heating element this tape being folded so that the length of tape extends as described. |
