The constant increase in UK diesel prices is hurting all businesses – but large transport and haulage fleet owners are particularly vulnerable. While smaller fleets are increasingly transitioning to electric vehicles, that’s out of the question for heavier vehicles – but there are some simple steps to improve fuel efficiency.
And amongst the most frequently overlooked solutions are diesel injector testing and repair.
One of the twelve DELPHI-approved diesel testing and repair specialists in the UK, Extract Engineering helps haulage fleets reduce costs by keeping their diesel injectors in top condition.
“We test all of these injectors on the newest electronic diesel injector test bench. We have the Hartridge AVM-2 PC and the Sabre Expert,” explained the company. “This AVM-2 PC also has the HK1500 cam box attached which allows tests to be carried out in conditions more similar to an actual engine. That combination of high-technology equipment enables us to test and repair your injectors and pumps to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) standards, complete with new coding. This ensures optimum performance and efficiency once refitted to your engines.”
The company’s new services provide comprehensive diesel injector testing solutions for haulage and other clients in the commercial and industrial sectors.
Using its latest diesel testing benches from Hartridge, Extract Engineering can diagnose any type of diesel injector issue in its early stages, thus preventing potentially costly repairs and reducing long-term costs. Additionally, with growing fuel costs, the new services will also help you improve your fleet’s overall fuel efficiency – as injector issues can account for a 5-10% decrease in mileage.
“Testing fuel injectors isn’t really a job for the enthusiast anymore,” said a company spokesperson. “Modern diesel fuel systems are complex and operate at extremely high pressures: up to 39,000 psi, almost three times the pressure at the bottom of the deepest point in the oceans! They rely on sophisticated electronic sensors and electronically controlled systems. This takes them to a whole new level! Flow testing and spray pattern tests aren’t the only thing you need to be testing. Modern systems need fuel injector electrical tests for resistance, inductance and a range of other parameters.”
To ensure optimal performance, diesel injector repair services are also available.
The company said: “Our repair and reconditioning services include an ultrasonic injector cleaning service as part of the process. Garages, commercial fleet operators, and agricultural and plant engineers all trust our services. We have returned diesel engines to full efficiency and low emissions for owners across Cumbria, South West Scotland and Lancashire.”
