Injector Removal – A real pain in the cylinder head…….

When it comes to common rail fuel injector removal, it is true to say that performing such a job can be a real nightmare and if the injector is not pulled perfectly straight out of the cylinder head, then any deviation can cause the injector to lock into head which can then lead to broken off injector tips……Big trouble!

The NEW 18580000 - Hydraulic injector puller kit is designed to apply 10 Tonnes of vertical pulling force, to help in the removal of seized fuel injectors on modern diesel engines; this kit is compact, so very useful where there is not enough clearance above the injectors for traditional slide hammer pullers to operate.

Inject......arrghhh! - Desperate DIY'ers Attempts

We had to share the above image with you to show you what measures certain people have gone to  remove a stubborn injector using washers, nails, screws, bolts....you name it! Anyone care to own up to the above contraptions?!!

To make common rail injectors last longer (often more than double their standard life) before failing, we recommend using a high quality diesel additive and if you are struggling to find a good one… give United Diesel a call on +44(0) 1939 291155, or visit their website: www.uniteddiesel.co.uk

Another interesting evening from the guys at CES UK

The latest diesel evening hosted by CES UK, not only saw an attendance of over 80 people but also provided visitors with a whole host of information about Common Rail Diesel systems and handy troubleshooting tips.

The presentation given by Steve McCann, MD at CES UK was informative and well received as were the talks made by suppliers Bosch and Delphi, as well as our very own Jason Bavin, Regional Sales Manager for the North.

Topics discussed included how to diagnose particular problems with a diesel engine and Delphi gave an interesting talk on injectors, how they work and how to remove a seized one. Seeing some of the contraptions that people had made in the past to try and remove a seized injector was a real eye opener. The mechanic who had welded a bolt to the top of an injector in a vain attempt to then use a hook to attach this to the bolt and pull out the stuck injector was just one highlight of the night!

The new Hydraulic Injector Puller Kit we have recently launched has been designed to assist in the removal of seized injectors as it applies 10 Tons of vertical pulling force where normally there is not enough clearance above an injector for traditional slide hammer removers to work efficiently.  

Note: The 18580000 Hydraulic Injector Puller Kit should be used in conjunction with other methods to remove seized fuel injectors; on its own it might not be the complete solution.

If you are looking for further information to fault-find and repair the majority of Common Rail problems, then come along to a CES Diesel Evening that are taking place throughout the country. For further details please click here.

It’s CES time again!

We are currently supporting CES UK and their Diesel Evenings that are taking place at various venues around the country. The evenings are hosted by Steve McCann, MD of CES UK and the presentation he gives about Common Rail diesel problems is well worth a listen. 

The latest diesel event took place at Porthmadog last night with over 100 people attending. Visitors got to see on-vehicle demo’s, were told about new technology updates and had the opportunity to purchase several tools with special ‘on the night’ prices.
