DIY Scania injector pump repair

In detail: do-it-yourself Scania injector pump repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Injector malfunctions can lead to:

  • increased fuel consumption;
  • the appearance of black smoke;
  • a noticeable decrease in power.

Fuel injectors in modern engines require constant attention and proper maintenance.

The main reason for the formation of soot deposits on the sprayer:

  • prolonged operation of the internal combustion engine at idle or at low speeds;
  • with constant use of the retarder.

Poor fuel quality and poor condition of the fuel filter lead to:

  • wear of nozzles;
  • violation of the geometry of the conducting channel;
  • the appearance on its surface of notches and scoring on the sealed surface.
  • repair of the injection pump is needed due to the degree of wear of the plunger pair;
  • injectors and fuel filters must be replaced;
  • the entire fuel system is being cleaned.

Incorrect injection timing and frequent use of the retarder can cause the spray tip to become very hot. Constant high tip temperature will cause discoloration or bluing of the tip. For this reason, nozzle rejection is not performed, because it does not affect the work of the part.

The content of impurities in the fuel, primarily sulfur and water, causes corrosion of the nozzles. When corrosion occurs:

  • cleaning the fuel system;
  • check of high pressure fuel pump;
  • replacement of nozzles.

Scania's internal combustion engines use three types of injectors, the task of which is to atomize fuel into the combustion chamber:

  • single-spring;
  • two-spring;
  • with a needle movement sensor.

A fuel injection line is used to supply fuel to the injectors.

Fuel is supplied under pressure to the channel of the rod filter and then to the atomizer through the fuel injection line, which is fixed with a cap nut. The injectors are used with and without a rod filter. The filter is housed in the hollow nozzle body.

Fuel pressure and a spring in the nozzle body cause the nozzle needle to move. The high pressure fuel pump creates the fuel pressure required to raise the nozzle needle. This pressure is called the opening pressure, the lift of the needle is the start of the injection. The atomized fuel enters the combustion chamber through holes that must be precisely calibrated.

The excess fuel, which is formed due to its leakage between the needle and the nozzle body, is removed through the fuel drain line back to the fuel tank. The fuel drain line is connected to the nozzle at the top of it.
