A failing fuel pressure relief valve
A story of a failing rail pressure relief valve I was towing my boat to the coast for a fishing trip. The engine was running good, until I was on an uphill passing lane going around slower traffic. By the end of the passing lane, I had lost power and was down to 50 mph…. Read more »
Quality Rebuilt Versus New Injectors
Make the correct choice when you purchase injectors for your diesel engine. There are many injectors on the market today for diesel engines, some are new and some are rebuilt. Many people think new are better than remanufactured, however the correct answer is it depends. If they are not Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM), then… Read more »

There could be mid-year engine build breaks that we must know to determine the correct part. Vehicle manufactures… Read more »
Common Turbo Failures; determine the cause
Determining the cause of turbo failures is important to keep the failure from reoccurring. We often disassemble turbochargers to determine why they failed. Once a turbo is disassembled and components are inspected it is easy to determine a cause. Turbochargers for most diesel applications rotate up to 150,000 rpm or higher, some applications may rotate… Read more »
Biodiesel; what happens when old fuel breaks down
There have been a number of studies about biodiesel and how it degrades over time. Most biodiesel blends, B5 or B20, that we see in Oregon are a FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). We have found biodiesel will often degrade enough in 1 year to cause fuel system damage. This is faster than the laboratory… Read more »
Injector Quantity Adjustment Codes or IQA
IQA Codes are entered into the ECM to improve control of the injected fuel quantity. The code applies over the entire programmed fuel map. The classification codes compensate for deviations in metered amounts, and make fuel quantity metering more precise. The adjustment codes also increase injector efficiency on the engine and improve emissions. Various engine… Read more »
Rail Pressure Sensor, Don’t Replace the Messenger
The high pressure pump creates high pressure at low volume. Depending on the system, it is up to the high pressure limit valve, injector connector tubes, fuel pressure control solenoid and injectors to hold leakage and allow the pressure to build. A fuel supply side restriction will also cause low rail pressure. If the connector… Read more »
