Calibration and all that

[Dieseler]

Sino sa inyo ang nagpa-calibrate na ng diesel rides ninyo?

Dieseler ako hindi pa pero anu ang basehan mo para sa injection pump calibration?

[Dieseler]

Dieseler ako hindi pa pero anu ang basehan mo para sa injection pump calibration?

Examples:

1. Humina ang hatak sobra
2. Black dirty smoke
3. Weird ang timing ng engine (di na consistent)
4. Biglang mamamatay (due to mababang RPM)
5. Heavier than usual fuel consumption
6. Age of vehicle (pag hindi alaga ang ride mo)
7. How the ride is driven (pag panay hataw hehe)
8. Fuel that is being fed into the engine (pag panay may halong kerosine or dumi ang diesel, more chances of damaging the nozzle tips)
9. Pag sabi na ni Doc Diesel (makikinig ka dapat diyan lol!)

[eurie]

kung hindi pa nagagalaw i-pump mo kaya pa palinis ng nozzle yan mas makakatipid ka...

[mikbik]

mga bro. try using Oberon diesel fuel additive and say goodbye to calibration na pagkamahal mahal.

just add nyo sa fuel tank and voila!!!

nakatipid ka pa sa consumption mo at the same time no black smoke kasi anti black smoke sya and linis ng fuel tank mo and injector mo.

Thanks FAFA Dieseler!

Milbik anu ang Oberon? Pasensya na at ignurante ako kung anu yun? Anu ba yan parang Biodiesel?

[Dieseler]

Ingat kayo dyan sa mga additives na yan. I used to be a 'user' of those lol!

The best is to do regular maintenance and give T.L.C. to your diesel rides. Use Biodiesel now and then also.

Calibration does not need to be expensive, especially if you take good care of your engine, AND you go to a reputable calibration shop. Ngayon ko lang pinacalibrate yung Hilander ko, eh that was like the first time in 6 years. Now it runs really WELL! Cost me less than 10K so divide mo by 6 yan eh di parang nag tune up ako ng gas engine every year.

[mikbik]

additives, i dont think so. actually your already using additives already even your using ordinary diesel fuels, it already contains additives.

e.g.
Petron unleaded + additives = Xtra Unleaded
+ More additives = XCS Plus
+ More & More Addtives = Blaze

Well, to each his own. As I tell people, its your engine and your money. BTW, the ones you quoted are for Gas engines, not diesel. Ibang klase mag-react ang diesel compared sa gas, mas O.A. lol! IMHO, additives are a waste of money and have no worth.

But surely it is inevitable that you will have to calibrate your diesel engine, no matter how much additives you use.

And don't forget, calibration does not mean changing parts (expensive), sometimes, adjust lang ng nozzle, etc.

How do you do this? simple, by using cleaning agents like additives/injector cleaner etc..

Uhhh...

What testing methods did this Oberon additive use? I can't even google the damned thing.

[mikbik]

Lets admit this madumi talaga ang diesel natin. cguro sa ibang country eh medyo improved na pero sa pinas medyo napag-iiwanan na tayo.

Why I say this? tignan nyo nalang sa emission testing centers mas mababa ang passing rate ng gas compared to diesel kasi mas madumi sya, same as get a clear bottle and lagyan mo ng diesel and the other gas kita mo kung sino mas malinis.

But this is not Gas vs. Diesel, it just the concept na nagpapacalibrate ka kasi all those dirt that comes from all our pumping stations goes inside and clogs our injectors. So the solutions is calibration / or maintaining a clean injectors / or use a cleaner diesel.

No one is denying that, we know that our diesel here is dirty, and there are a lot of diesel owners who do not follow regular maintenance of their engines, such as jeepney and bus operators. But why don't they use your Oberon product if this is so cheap and effective?

And so you are saying, as long as we use clean diesel, and use Oberon, we do not need to calibrate, ever?

Just had my Adventure calibrated for the first time, and all I can say is, the performance is just like buying a new ride. It was worth what I paid for it. Before calibration, I had a bit of white smoke, and now, I hardly notice any. Also, there was extreme power loss. Now just a little pressure on the pedal gives a sudden boost. I am expecting my fuel consumption to decrease dramatically in a few days. Will compare my data of around 7 years. Two months ago, had my Hilander calibrated too. Same results basically, though the 4Ja1 still spews white smoke (typical of these models). Next up, Revo calibration hehe...

Dieseler, saan ka nagpacalibrate? and how much? Thanks.

Dieseler, saan ka nagpacalibrate? and how much? Thanks.

I went to Betan Makati. It would be best if bring your ride over to them for an estimate. Iba-iba kasi and cost. Pwedeng recondition lang (cheapest), pwedeng replacement of many parts (more expensive).

Thanks for the tip. I'll schedule a visit.

IMO, the dirt clogging our injectors does not come from the dirty diesel pumping stations we have for prior to entry to our powerplants, diesel fuel first passes on a fuel filter so in case our diesel pumping stations here are that dirty, probably we'll have a problem of replacing our fuel filters so often. I think the problem is the fuel company's formula of their diesel fuel, yung pinaka pagkakatimpla nu'ng diesel nila kasi those nasty things clogging our injectors is carbon which is a product of incompletely burned diesel fuel. Anyway it's just me, Peace :D

[basti08]

nagpa recondition ng nozzle, not really calibrate. tumipid naman sa diesel at a quarter of the cost of calibration(cant remember the figure, may 1 year na).

[promdiboy]

dieseler just had my ride calibrated 4m40 engine. 18k+ inabot, my problem is hard starting sa umaga. sa central diesel clinic.

It may be possible that you don't have to calibrate your 4M40, AFAIK 4M40 is also powered by a rotary type injector which necessitates the use of heaters on cold mornings, it could be possible that your glow plugs are already busted a very likely reason why it starts hard on a cold morning. We also experienced the same in our adventure and upon starting there's a violent explosion inside the engine (more or less due to accumulated diesel fuel). Told my dad to have the glow plugs replaced and he didn't heed my advice until one day he brought out a Volt Ohm meter and found out that his car has a busted set of glow plugs. Upon replacing them the engine is like new again.
