Common Faults Of Diesel Generator And Troubleshooting

Today, Jiangsu Starlight Electricity Equipments Co.,Ltd. will share common faults of diesel generator and how to eliminate them. The fuel delivery pump of diesel generator accessory is a single acting piston type, which is installed on the side of the fuel injection pump of the diesel generator set and driven by the eccentric wheel on the fuel injection pump shaft. Its function is to suck fuel from the fuel tank and supply sufficient fuel to the injection pump of the diesel generator set at a certain pressure. But sometimes we find that the oil volume is insufficient?

(2) The piston is worn.

(3) The oil inlet tight cap leaks.

(4) The inlet screen of the fuel transfer pump is blocked.

(5) The piston is stuck and the oil is cut off.
