The diesel leak off is for getting air out of the system should you run out of fuel. It is very difficult to get the diesel engine restarted after running out of fuel as compared to a gasoline engine which is relatively easy. Once you have run your diesel out of fuel, the injectors must be primed for you to have even a chance of getting restarted. So, VW/ Mercedes owners, keep that tank about a quarter.
these are leak-off pipes, for excess diesel to lube the rest of injector and return to the tank.
I suppose if you had a leaky injector it could.
I undo the diesel filter and fill with diesel to the top, and refit, Then slacken off the fuel injector supply pipes on the injector end, Crank over engine until fuel appears to leak down injector connection, tighten injector fuel connections and then continue to crank over engine. Should then start to fire up. Keep cranking till engine running on its own.
Diesels don't use "GAS"!!!!
Diesel fuel injector cleaner will not hurt your unleaded gas motor. The diesel fuel injector cleaner is basically the same as your unleaded injector cleaner.
Cracked injector cups is the main cause of diesel in the cooling system. There is a special tool to remove them with out taking the head off.
A fire washer, also known as an injector seal, is usually fitted to a diesel injector. The fire washer is responsible for keeping diesel vapor from escaping the combustion chamber.
You can try to repair a small leak in a diesel fuel tank without taking off and welding by using specially made putty.
you can have an engine that has an injector over-fueling and fuel is getting past the rings or more than likely you have a cracked head or injector leaking. more information on what engine it is and i can tell you all of the way that that engine might leak.
One can set an injector for a 320 diesel marine engine by setting the timing and duration.
no i dont think you can use diesel fuel injector cleaner in gas engines
To begin with you will smell diesel after parking. You will also have your coolant system start overflowing because it will be filling up with diesel. The crack will allow the injector to push diesel into the coolant.
