What to do if fuel mix with engine oil in diesel generator set?


The fuel oil and engine oil of diesel generator set have completely different functions. They can not be mixed. Once the fuel oil and engine oil are mixed, it means that the sealing of the unit is faulty, which happens sometimes in use.

Today Starlight Power tell you how to deal with it.

When fuel is mixed with engine oil in diesel generator set, it can be eliminated by the following methods:

1. The oil transfer pump membrane is rotted or degummed, which makes the diesel oil flow into the oil pan and mix with the oil. Remove the oil transfer pump, and apply corresponding pressure to the oil inlet pipe and oil outlet pipe on the oil pump test bench. If no diesel leakage is found, the oil transfer pump is intact.

2.The fuel injector has low injection opening pressure and poor atomization, which makes the diesel flow into the oil pan along the cylinder wall and mix with the oil. Remove the injector and test it on the high-pressure oil pump test bench. If the opening pressure of the injector meets the requirements and the atomization is good, it means that the injector is intact. Otherwise, repair or replace it.

3.The front end of the fuel injection pump leaks oil, that is, the oil seal at the front end of the fuel injection pump fails. Remove the inspection hole cover of the gear cover. If a large amount of diesel oil is ejected from behind the driving gear of the fuel injection pump, it can be concluded that the diesel oil is leaked into the oil pan by the fuel injection pump and mixed with the oil. Remove the fuel injection pump and test it on the high-pressure oil pump test bench. It is found that the oil seal at the front end gear Journal of many fuel injection pumps is deformed and a large amount of diesel oil is leaked. When the oil seal seat has the gear to be disassembled, use the trace (indentation) on the top of the special tool screw to deform the oil seal seat and the oil seal, causing diesel oil leakage. Finally, replace the fuel injection pump, and the fault can be solved.

It is difficult to find the mixture of fuel oil and engine oil of diesel generator set in the early stage, so you must not be careless when observing the operation and daily maintenance of the unit, do not wait situation of unit is serious, which will increase the difficulty of repair.

We hope above information can help you when you meet some related problem of diesel generator set. We are not only share technical support, but also supply a complete diesel generator set, we have our own factory in China, founded in 1974.

Yuchai Is Super Confident in Its Innovation

Founded in 1951, with 30 wholly-owned, holding and joint-stock subsidiaries, Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the Yuchai Group) is an internal combustion engine manufacturing base with the most complete spectrum of products in the country. In recent years, machinery manufacturing industry has been dropped off influenced by domestic and foreign economic situations, especially domestic overcapacity and unreasonable product structure. Reversely, Yuchai has sold over 3 million engines with the annualized revenues amount to RMB 40 billion. Over the years, as China ’ s largest engine R&D manufacturing base, Yuchai adjusts and optimizes its industrial structure and constantly strengthens its capacity for independent innovation. Therefore, the key technology continues to be the top in the sector for further keeping its own top leader in the industry. Innovation-Driven In 2013, seven world-class diesel-engine products for high-s...

How to Read Alarm Codes From SmartGen Genset Controller

Auto Module Control Panel is the configuration for nobody on duty controlling generators. This kind of panel adopts auto module control system, with large LCD display to show the menu, such as SmartGen controller. Features:   1. SmartGen 6110 can receive remote output signal from ATS and realize auto start and stop of generators. 2. SmartGen 6310 can realize all functions of 6110, add RS232 interface which can communicate with PC to realize remote operation.  3. SmartGen 6410 Auto Mains Failure controller, can realize all functions of 6310, furthermore can detect  ATS and control directly. The alarm of diesel generator controller is not the amount of stop alarm, which does not affect the normal operation of diesel generator. When the alarm occurs, the unit will not stop, and when the alarm conditions do not exist, the amount of warning will automatically disappear.  Today Starlight manufacturer mainly shares alarm codes for diesel generato...

How Do You Check Diesel Consumption In The Diesel Generator Set?

  Diesel generator sets   are crucial assets in various industries, providing backup power during outages or serving as primary power sources in remote locations. With fuel costs being a significant operational expense, monitoring diesel consumption becomes essential for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively check diesel consumption in a generator set. Understanding Diesel Consumption Metrics Before delving into the monitoring process, it's crucial to grasp the key metrics associated with diesel consumption: Fuel Consumption Rate: This indicates the rate at which diesel is being consumed by the generator set, typically measured in liters per hour (L/hr) or gallons per hour (GPH). Load Factor: The percentage of the generator's maximum capacity being utilized at any given time. It directly influences fuel consumption, with higher loads resulting in increased fuel usage. Fuel Efficiency: A measure of how effectively the generator...
