🔍 Key Concepts

• Effects of overheating metal components in a diesel fuel system • How carbon deposits form on fuel nozzles • Relationship between poor injection and engine power output

💭 Think About

• If a nozzle tip gets hotter than normal, what happens to fuel that touches it and to the metal surface over time? • How would a distorted or overheated nozzle affect how evenly and accurately fuel is sprayed into the cylinder? • If fuel is not injected with the correct pattern or quantity, what will that do to combustion and engine power?

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider whether carbon buildup is more or less likely when metal surfaces are overheated • Think about how spray pattern and metering might change if the nozzle’s shape or clearances are affected by heat • Ask whether poor injection quality would logically reduce engine power or leave it unchanged
