Diesel Fuel Injection System Help Desk

[Dieseldude]

best response i got so far which makes perfect sense. very grateful on the prompt reply. next question, since it is brand new, can we assume that its emissions are normal.... Of course. since it is also assumed that all brand new vehicles undergo formal emissions testing before they are released? Each brand new vehicle doesn't need to be tested for emissions by the dealer. This is the vehicle maker's (VM) responsibility. Each VM studies our emission standards and delivers cars that conform to our standards, or they cannot be sold in the market.

third ( i hope you dont mind rookie diesel engine queries), short of doing a formal emissions test, just confirming that black smoke from a diesel engine accelerating is indeed normal. when does it become excessive and need being brought to the casa? Excessive clouds of black smoke is obviously a sign that a vehicle needs service. On borderline cases (slight black smoke), the only way to determine if a car's emission conforms to the legal limit is through the use of an accurate smoke test equipment. A car failing the smoke test needs to be serviced as it is consuming too much fuel and polluting our air.

are there remedies to lessen such black smoke emissions like the 2T fuel additive, using euro IV compliant fuel, using diesel fuel with a higher octane rating (if there is such), using synthetic engine oil, using a special fuel filter, etc. I have no experience on these things you mentioned. In my case, I would clean/replace the air filter, and if this doesn't cure the problem, I will check/fix the fuel injection system or engine...

your replies are very much appreciated. hope you continue such. I'm glad....

Minor correction, Octane=gasoline, Cetane=diesel. Tama si Dieseldude, if you see excessive smoke, it may need tuning or repair so go to a respectable shop for assistance.

sir dieseldude,
may nabasa po ako dito thread tungkol po sa mga diesel owner adding 2t oil sa fuel and they claim that the engine runs smoother. ano po ang masasabi po ninyo about this? makakasira po ba ito sa injection pump and fuel injectors in the long run? or talagang makakatulong po ito?
maraming salamat po and God Bless

Ano mileage ng pickup mo? Ok ba ang andar nya? Meron ba black smoke?

Wala akong experience sa paggamit ng 2T oil. Hindi ako maglalagay ng 2T sa common rail diesel.

Perform these checks in this order:

1) Check/replace air filter.

2) Service EGR if installed.

3) Tune up engine.

4) Check injection pump timing.

5) Check injection pump and injector calibration.

Hi sir, I have a Gen 2 Pajero 3 door 4M40 and I was just wondering if 5km/liter city driving is normal consumption for this kind of engine? So far i don't experience hard starting every morning and the power of the engine is good but for me it consumes a lot of fuel given that I'm a light footed driver. Is there any way or do you have tips on what can i do to improve my fuel consumption?

By the way, I haven't had any repairs on the engine nor had it calibrated yet, and I always do 5,000 km change oil and replace fuel filter. My km reading as of now is 150,000 sir. Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hi sir, I have a Gen 2 Pajero 3 door 4M40 and I was just wondering if 5km/liter city driving is normal consumption for this kind of engine? 5km/ltr could be acceptable for city driving if you often drive on high traffic areas. Hiway driving is a more accurate measure of fuel consumption.

So far i don't experience hard starting every morning and the power of the engine is good but for me it consumes a lot of fuel given that I'm a light footed driver. Is there any way or do you have tips on what can i do to improve my fuel consumption? Try these: 1) check replace air filter, 2) remove any unnecessary cargo from your car, 3) check tire type, size, and inflation pressure, 4) Use less aircon or increase your temp settings a bit.

Would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Your maintenance program is very good but mileage is wear. Fuel injection system may have to be checked.

Hi Sir Dieseldude. I've been experiencing slight vibrations/bogging during acceleration from 1k to 2k rpm in my 2005 ford everest (4x4). I regularly change oil every 5000km. My current mileage is 67000km.

Here are the things that I already did but still did not solve the problem:

- Checked wheel camber, alignment and balance
- Checked crossjoints, center bearing and prop shaft. They are all intact.
- Replaced Fuel filter (OEM). The old filter has dirt and water when removed.
- Replaced AFT filter (OEM) and ATF oil
- Replaced Oil filter (OEM) and engine oil

Any info/advice regarding this problem? - TIA!
