Picture Request- Failed Components

[Bruce Amacker]

Hey Guys:

 

I'm doing a custom class for an insurance company regarding component failures that would/could be covered by a comprehensive insurance policy.  I have plenty of pictures in these categories:

 

• Contaminated fuel systems- rust, water, etc.
• Cooling systems (EGR coolers damaged from low coolant, wrong coolant/lack of maintenance corrosion, cavitation, etc)
• Air induction failures

 

 

I am short in a couple of categories:

 

• DEF contamination (both directions- DEF/Fuel and Fuel/DEF)
• Failures from chips/programmers (bottom end, driveline)
• Algae contamination pictures would also be welcome
• Split injector tips from air intrusion

 

Anything else that "could" be claimed by an insurance policy.

 

The Ins co. is getting a lot of claims filed that are borderline- possible sabotage, cross-fueling, contaminations, impact/accident related claims that are questionable (like "the accident shook up dirt in the tank causing my injectors to fail", "someone sabotaged my air filter causing my engine to be dusted", etc) and similar stories. If you have a real case studies involving insurance claims I'd be willing to look at those, too.  Any pictures I use I'm happy to pay $20 each for. Pics shot with a camera rather than a phone are preferred but I'll look at anything.

 

Thank You!

 

PS Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mothers!

I have had a few dusted 6.7 turbos related to the oval intake duct mouth being damaged due to installer error.  I will snap a few pics of the most recent damaged turbo/duct if needed.

These turbos don't need any help failing
