<\/p>\nDuring this attendance, our engineers were really surprised in what they found, and once again provided an example of the benefits of carrying out thorough engine checks.<\/p>\n
This engine is a standby set, so it\u2019s rarely used, with just 53 hours on the clock.<\/p>\n
Despite this, it was emitting smoke so thick that the fire brigade was being called every time it was run!<\/p>\n
The initial investigation showed diesel in the oil, so we were called to replace the injectors and seals to prevent any future leaks.<\/p>\n
Whilst the injectors were removed, we used our borescope to check the internals of the engine and this is what we found when looking at the piston in cylinder 6:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whilst we continue our investigations into the cause, it shows the value in carrying out internal checks no matter how easy it may look to resolve a problem.<\/p>\n
With continued running, there could have been some irreparable engine damage.<\/p>\n
Our engineers have just come back from attending an emergency generator with a Deutz BF6M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":12251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,118,58,112],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
