How to evaluate the fuel injection pump condition if it should be overhauled or not yet? |
The Engine Maker's manual states the overhaul RH limit and/or period for fuel injection pumps overhaul. It is highly advised to stick to Maker recommended intervals. However, the overhaul could be done earlier or later depending on many factors like pump condition, Owner requirements, Engine usage schedule, repair convenience etc. If leakages observed or fuel pump index increased 10 or more the pump certainly must be overhauled with a replacement of worn parts. |
