Your Questions Answered!
Can diesel fuel injection problems cause excessive engine vibration?
Yes. When injectors deliver uneven amounts of fuel, some cylinders produce more power than others, and the imbalance creates noticeable shaking, especially at idle. Incorrect injection timing and a weak injection pump can cause similar roughness. Worn engine mounts may make the vibration feel worse. Cylinder contribution testing and injector bench testing identify fuel-related causes quickly.
What should I do if gasoline gets put into my diesel tank?
Do not start the engine. If it is already running, shut it off as soon as safely possible. Gasoline lowers lubricity and can damage the injection pump and injectors quickly. Have the tank drained, flush the fuel lines, replace the filters and refill with clean diesel. If the engine ran on the mixture, have the fuel system tested for damage.
How often should heavy-duty trucks have their fuel injectors tested?
Many fleets test injectors during scheduled maintenance once trucks reach high mileage, or anytime fuel economy drops, smoke increases or fault codes appear. Engines running in severe service, with long idle hours or questionable fuel, may need testing sooner. Tracking fuel economy for each truck helps spot early injector wear, allowing repairs before a roadside failure disrupts deliveries.
