Useful articles and Training courses about Diesel engines
Have you been working on a Cummins ISX15 or QSX15 with fault codes 3714 and 3712 and you want to know how to fix and clear them? Read my guide and get this engine on the road again!
Some engine manufacturers such as Cummins, use injectors without connector plugs or with unmarked terminals. If this is the case, how should we connect the cables on the injector? Will the ECU show injector faults if we reverse the polarity? Does injector polarity matter?
Oscilloscopes measure and display voltage as a waveform, in relation to time. They are essential tools in diagnosing many engine faults. Let’s see why you should consider buying one!
Diesel Common Rail Fuel systems are utilised to increase engine power, reduce emissions and make Diesel engines run smoother and more “civilized”. However they require special treatment and could pose a significant health risk if the person working on the system does not know its basic principles.
Choosing a diagnostic tool shouldn’t be taken lightly. It is an investment for the future! The list has been compiled based on my diagnostic and training experience. I still use the majority of them almost daily!
Are you ready to improve the way you do diagnostics on your Cummins Diesel engine? You can now get the same functionality as a paid version with a very small restriction!
Due to new, stricter emission legislation, all new Diesel engines need to be equipped with a special catalyst (SCR) to reduce harmful NOx emissions to Water, Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide. Sounds easy? Well… it’s not that simple. Keep reading to understand why!
AdBlue is an automotive-specific liquid mixture of 67.5% Water and 32.5% Urea. It is injected before the SCR catalyst to help reduce NOx to virtually zero. It is very important to learn some simple tricks about Adblue to avoid having to deal with system faults that could be avoided!
I enjoy learning about and explaining complex systems in a way that everyone understands!
