Specifications for Testing the Fuel Injection Nozzles
Introduction
Perform the following procedures in order to determine if a fuel injection nozzle does not work correctly.
Required Tools
Table 2
Required Tools
5P-4718 Adapter 1
1U-8857 Extension 1
6V-6068 SAE J-967 Calibration Fluid 1
Test Procedure
Bench test the fuel injection nozzles at a temperature of 18 to 20 C (64 to 70 F)
Illustration 1 g01141683
2. Loosen the nut for the fuel supply line (1) at the fuel injection nozzle on cylinder number 1. Do not
loosen the nut more than half of a turn. Listen for the low idle to decrease or become rough. Tighten
the nut for the fuel supply line on cylinder number 1. Perform this test on each cylinder.
3. The fuel injection nozzle is faulty when the nut for the fuel supply line is loosened and the following
events occur:
The fuel injection nozzle is not a serviceable part. Disassembling or adjusting the nozzle will violate the
standards for emissions.
Note: Extra care should be used in handling the fuel injection nozzle in order to prevent damage to the nozzle
tip. A scratch or a burr could cause needle leakage or spray distortion. Dirt in the orifices of the nozzle tip can
damage engine components. Dirt can also distort the spray pattern of the nozzle.
Ensure that you wear eye protection at all times during testing. When
fuel injection nozzles are tested, test fluids travel through the orifices of
the nozzle tip with high pressure. Under this amount of pressure, the test
fluid can pierce the skin and cause serious injury to the operator.
Always keep the tip of the fuel injection nozzle pointed away from the
operator and into the fuel collector and extension.

Correct spray pattern for a fuel injection nozzle
1. Connect fuel injection nozzle (3) to the tooling that is shown in Illustration 3.
Position the fuel injection nozzle so that the fuel spray is directed into the 1U-8857 Extension (4) and
the 8S-2270 Fuel Collector (6) .
2. Close the gauge protector valve and the shutoff valve. Open the pump isolator valve.
3. Pump the nozzle tester at approximately 60 strokes per minute and look at the spray pattern when the
fluid begins to flow through the orifices of the fuel injection nozzle.
The spray, which flows from all of the orifices, must have the same pattern. The fuel injection nozzle is
faulty if there is a difference in the vertical patterns or a difference in the horizontal patterns. Refer to
the correct spray pattern in Illustration 2.
Note: If the nozzle tester is pumped too slowly, the fuel injection nozzle can develop a hydraulic lock.
If this situation occurs, release the nozzle cap nut in order to release the pressure and then tighten the
nozzle cap nut to a torque of 34 3 Nm (25 2 lb ft). Test the spray pattern again.
Note: Be sure that the gauge protector valve is closed before the fuel injection nozzle is removed from
the nozzle tester. Closing the valve will prevent damage to the pressure gauge.
Pressure Test
Ensure that you wear eye protection at all times during testing. When
fuel injection nozzles are tested, test fluids travel through the orifices of
the nozzle tip with high pressure. Under this amount of pressure, the test
fluid can pierce the skin and cause serious injury to the operator.
Always keep the tip of the fuel injection nozzle pointed away from the
operator and into the fuel collector and extension.

NOTICE
Do not use dirty test fluids when you test fuel injection nozzles. Also, do
not test fuel injection nozzles unless you have the correct service
tools.The use of dirty test fluids and the use of incorrect service tools
will result in damage to fuel injection nozzles.
1. Connect fuel injection nozzle (3) to the tooling that is shown in Illustration 3.
Position the fuel injection nozzle so that the fuel spray is directed into the 1U-8857 Extension (4) and
the 8S-2270 Fuel Collector (6) .
Use clean 6V-6068 Calibration Fluid when the fuel injection nozzles are tested. The calibration fluid is
equivalent to SAE J-967 (ISO 4113) oil.
2. Close the gauge protector valve. Close the shutoff valve. Open the pump isolator valve. In order to
flush the fuel injection nozzle, operate the nozzle tester for 10 to 15 strokes at a rate of approximately
60 strokes per minute.
3. Open the gauge protector valve. Move the pump lever quickly downward until the valve in the fuel
injection nozzle opens. Note the highest pressure indication on the dial indicator before the pointer
moves to 0 kPa (0 psi). This highest pressure indication is the opening pressure of the fuel injection
nozzle. The opening pressure is defined when the valve needle is lifted from the valve seat.
4. Refer to the table in Specifications, "Fuel Injection Nozzles" for the correct pressure settings.
If the opening pressure is not within the range of the setting that is given in the table, the fuel injection
nozzle must be replaced.
Position the fuel injection nozzle so that the fuel spray is directed into the 1U-8857 Extension (4) and
the 8S-2270 Fuel Collector (6) .
2. Pump the pressure of the nozzle tester at 60 strokes per minute to approximately 1030 kPa (150 psi)
below the opening pressure of the fuel injection nozzle. A drop of fuel should not form on the tip of the
fuel injection nozzle for at least ten seconds. A light dampness is acceptable. If the results of the tests
are not acceptable, clean the fuel injection nozzle. After you clean the fuel injection nozzle and the fuel
leakage still occurs, the nozzle must be replaced.
