There have been a number of isolated instances of issues with the 216-9786 Fuel Injector As .The issues with the fuel injection nozzles are the following:
Fuel leaking from the fuel injection nozzles
Performance issues with the fuel injection nozzlesIn order to prevent the issues occurring, ensure that the installation recommendations are followed.
Ensure that the fuel injection nozzle is correctly located in the cylinder head. The fuel injection nozzle should be seated and nut thread started, prior to tightening.
Ensure that the existing combustion washer is removed before the fuel injection nozzle is assembled.
Ensure that a new combustion washer is installed to the fuel injection nozzle before assembly into the cylinder head.
Use a suitably sized socket to tighten the fuel injection nozzle nut. Ensure that no damage to the nut occurs during the tightening process.
Care should be taken to avoid damage to the high-pressure pipe during the assembly process.
Guarantee cleanliness by leaving caps in place and by using clean tools.For the correct procedure to remove the fuel injection nozzles, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injection Nozzles - Remove". For the correct procedure to install the fuel injection nozzles, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injection Nozzles - Install".Ensure that the storage recommendations are followed.
Store new nozzle holder assemblies in the as delivered condition, in original packaging.
Storage time maximum of 4 years, thereafter all equipment should be checked by a Bosch dealer.
Storage temperature should be between −30° to 60°C (−22° to 140°F).
Atmospheric humidity should be between 0 to 80%.
Protect new nozzle holder assemblies from rain, snow, and sunlight.Ensure that the fuel recommendations are followed.
Use diesel fuel in accordance with "EN 590".
Ensure that fuel storage facilities are in accordance with "EN 590".
Ensure that fuel filters are changed in line with the maintenance interval schedule. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Maintenance Interval Schedule".
Water separators are to be used where there exists a high risk of water contamination of storage tanks, for example, from condensation.Refer to Caterpillar Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations, SEBU6251 for more information.
