Normal fuel pressure for Detroit Diesel engines typically ranges from 50 to 70 psi, depending on the specific model and application. It’s essential to maintain this pressure for optimal engine performance and fuel delivery. Always refer to the service manual for the specific engine model for precise specifications. Regular checks and maintenance can help ensure the fuel system operates efficiently.
Detroit Diesel code 137 typically indicates a problem with the engine's fuel system, specifically related to the fuel supply or pressure. This code can be triggered by issues such as a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or low fuel pressure. To resolve the issue, it's important to inspect the fuel system components and ensure they are functioning properly. Always refer to the specific service manual for detailed diagnostic procedures.
The calorific value of fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion at a constant pressure and under normal conditions. For diesel, the calorific value is 44,800.
18.6 ATM for diesel UDER ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE.
the fuel pump in common rail diesel generates the highest pressure eg 1600Bar. whereas normal fuel pump generates not more than 10-15 psipressure
Either manually pump fuel into the fuel filter (as in, do this several hundred times), or pour some diesel fuel directly into the fuel filter.
injector tubes are leaking
yes
low sulphur diesel will have no effect whatever. new lubricants have been added to fuel to compensate for the reduction of the sulphur
I would just go with DIESEL and not GASOLINE
electric fuel lift pump inside fuel tank and high pressure diesel pump on engine driven by timing belt
The vapor pressure of diesel fuel at 60 degrees Celsius is approximately 2.0-2.5 kPa.
If you're running a GM gas engine, about 40 psi. If you're running the 6.5 Detroit Diesel, 10 - 12 psi.
