Tziourtzioumis 1 and Anastassios M. Stamatelos 2,* 1 Vehicle Mechanical Engineering Dept., Alexandrion TEI of Thessaloniki, 57400 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] 2 Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Thessaly, 38334 Volos, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-24210-74067 Received: 27 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 22 May 2019 Abstract: The application of biodiesel blends is known to significantly affect operation of diesel-injection equipment, especially the injectors and fuel pump. This paper summarizes experience on this subject from burning fuel blends with high-percentages of biodiesel (up to 70%) on a common-rail, high-pressure-injection diesel engine and a conventional DI engine. Both engines were unable to start after running for 100 h each and staying shut off for more than two months. In order to understand the wear characteristics of the injector nozzle, pump pistons, and elastomer parts (in the case of the high-pressure pump of the common-rail engine), due to the prolonged operation with high-percentage biodiesel blends, their injectors and pumps parts were examined and compared by performing normal photography and low magnification microscopy. Additionally, the various elastomer parts of the high-pressure fuel pump of the common-rail engine were examined for wear and deterioration. The results are compared with existing literature results from other researchers. The observed deterioration of diesel-injection equipment is caused by use of high-percentage biodiesel blends and subsequent engine shut down. Keywords: diesel engine; fuel injection; biodiesel; fuel pump; fuel injectors; engine parts deterioration 1. Introduction Biodiesel is defined as the mono alkyl esters of long-chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. The term fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) [1] is often used as a generic expression for the trans-esters of these naturally occurring triglycerides, which find application as either a replacement for or a blending component for use with fossil-derived diesel. Significant variation in product quality and specification is allowed by legislation for products generally described as biodiesel. The influence of biodiesel blends on the steady-state and transient performance and emissions of various diesel engine types has been extensively reported in the literature [2–4]. The use of biodiesel blends with less than 10% biodiesel on diesel fuel is generally considered favorable mainly for the engine particulate emissions, but it is legislated for sustainability reasons. 1.1. Biodiesel Fuel Quality and Stability Problems Oxidation of biodiesel may damage fuel injection system parts and excess heating of vegetable oils may cause polymerization of the biodiesel. The extent of biodiesel oxidation depends on its fatty acid composition [4]. Experience has shown that several fuel quality, handling, storage, and vehicle operability issues need to be successfully addressed whenever high-percentage biodiesel blends are to be used in an automotive diesel vehicle fleet. This has led to numerous initiatives by fuel producers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and their industry associations to publicize their issues and to lobby fuel legislators to include a number of parameters in regional biodiesel specifications.

What is Propane? Propane is liquefied petroleum gas that consists of propane, propylene, butane, and butylenes in various mixtures. In the United States, propane is the primary ingredient. Propane is a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining and it is stored under moderate pressure to maintain its liquid state. Why is Propane a Clean Air Choice? Propane vehicles produce less tailpipe emissions of virtually all pollutants associated with automobile vehicles that use gasoline or diesel. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a typical four-horsepower gasoline lawnmower engines generates almost six times as much volatile organic compound (VOCs) per hour of use as a typical car. Converting small utility engines such as lawnmowers to burn propane can reduce emissions of ozone precursors by one third and increase fuel economy by 14 percent.

  • FUEL SYSTEM Misdiagnosis
    6810 Misdiagnosis Flyer 2/1/11 1:53 PM Page 1 TM AIRTEX Product Information Sheet FUEL SYSTEM Misdiagnosis Airtex fuel pumps are 100% tested before they leave the factory. That’s why it’s a good idea to check out everything else first before suspecting the fuel pump. In fact, 50% of all fuel pumps returned for warranty consideration meet all manufacturer’s specifications when tested. Nearly 75% of all aftermarket fuel pump failures are caused by: – Misdiagnosis – Vehicle related electrical wiring or connector issues – Contaminated vehicle fuel systems Misdiagnosis Misdiagnosis is the leading cause of fuel pump returns. If the engine runs but displays driveability symptoms that you suspect are fuel- related (hard starting, hesitation, misfiring, power loss), first attempt to eliminate other possible causes of the problem. Make sure the engine is in good mechanical condition. An engine may not start or run properly for many reasons. BE SURE TO CHECK: • Fuel in the vehicle tank is adequate (add 2 to 3 gallons as needed). • Fuel is fresh and of good quality. • Fuel system has no leaks. • Fuel filter has been replaced. • Fuel delivery electrical system checks OK. • Engine mechanical systems check OK. • Engine electrical system checks OK. • Ignition system checks OK. • Charging system checks OK. • Battery voltage is at least 12.4 volts. • Cranking voltage at the starter is at least 9.6 volts. • Inertia switch is reset (typical of Ford applications). • Oil pressure and RPM signals are present (various applications). THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR REPEAT FUEL PUMP FAILURE ARE: • Misdiagnosis: Pump is OK, fault lies elsewhere! • Not measuring fuel volume.

Normal SI Diagnostics may be inconclusive or lead to Fuel Injection Pump replacement. Recommendation/Instructions Complete the current SI diagnostics for any symptoms or DTCs found. If the current SI diagnostic has led to Fuel Injection Pump replacement, Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 must be inspected for magnetic metal debris. Note: Clean the area around regulator 1 before removal. It is possible that road debris could find its way to the regulator when it is removed. A small piece of dirt does not qualify the fuel system for the repairs recommended in this PI. Please see the pictures below for examples. Remove the Fuel Injection Pump / Pressure Regulator 1 for inspection. 1 The picture above is an example of a clean Pressure Regulator 1.

Milestones of the diesel engine 1897 1936 First diesel engine is introduced First series passenger car with 1927 diesel engine 1975 Diesel injection pump is ready for Distributor-type injection pump used series production in mass-produced models In 1892, Rudolf Diesel began researching his idea for a their trucks and agricultural vehicles with the new diesel completely new internal combustion engine with self-ignition. injection system.

Compared to the popular engine The diesel engine found more and more areas of application. concepts of the time, such as steam-engines and gasoline Along with trucks and tractors, diesel locomotives, ships, engines, Diesel‘s design had crucial advantages: Its engine airships and even airplanes (1929 Junkers, 1930 Fiat) were burned less fuel and was able to be set up for higher outputs. equipped with compression-ignition engines. Diesel‘s invention was first implemented in stationary and ship engines.
