that happen to just one? how did the rest of the engine hold up with that chunk of metal flying around the cylinder?
|
So far so good... These aint no duramaxes... They can take a beating. :D
We sent a 3/8" washer through jasons engine. He cranked it up, heard it go through the intake, bounch in teh cylinder a few times, hit the turbo and out the pipe. Still runs like a top! :D |

|
That's why I pump my own fuel.

wow..thats some wild looking stuff...had a lady bring my uncle her 03 cummins, late one night she put 5 gallons of gas not diesel in her truck and drove it home down the highway she cracked 4 pistons, messed up part she had 350,000 miles on it she hauled horses, when we tore it down the rod bearings looked almost new i was surprised.

What causes that to happen? I know gasoline is thinner than diesel, but what causes the injector to explode into pieces like that when gas passes through?
|
the gas will take all the lubricity out of the diesel and that injector probably got hot and just came apart from overheating
|
gas will make a diesel get real hot that is why the diesel pump has a green handle and a big nozzle:argh::argh:
