Jim Warman Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I don't know if any of you are seeing this.... Notice the missing screen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I had one like that,never found the screen but it did not matter much because the truck was getting a long block because of a split injector tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shlep Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Haven't seen that yet either, any chance that injector or others on that bank had other issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Two injectors (IIRC) were being replaced on this motor... not sure of cylinder numbers. This injector did have indications of water intrusion. The screen was never located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It looks like a cup issue with compression coming back up the injector nozzle with bad orings passing compression. What does the end of the injector look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 The business end looked normal... like I mentioned, the only obvious thing on quick inspection was that water had made it to the injector as evidenced by the discolouration of the fuel area...

LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What colour Jim? If it's rust getting by, I think you have a fuel tank issue...Have you checked the tank???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Water in fuel is quite common here... this is the land of slip tanks and on-site storage (read that as low standards)... If one of these guys doesn't have a slip tank in the back of his truck, he has more than likely borrowed fuel from someone that does or will soon be forced to do so. Even now we occasionally encounter a HFCM with one of the old, soft drain plugs - siezed in place, of course. One of our aims is to have everyone drain the water separator at every service... sadly, you can't watch everyone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
