Great info. Before I retired, we had several large Generators of different brands (Cat, DD, Mitsubishi), V16's and V12's with 2.5k+ HP, and during the monthly test runs it was important to get them up to operating temps to avoid this. The best systems had a load bank attached to properly load the Generator for monthly and annual testing. Thanks for providing all the info you do.
I've never heard of wet stacking before. That's a new one to me. It's cool to learn something new. I've always thought it was bad, regardless of the type of engine, to not get it up to full operating temperature but it looks like it's worse for diesels. Day in the life update: Just got back from an insane ride. A friend and I decided to ride out to Big Bend National Park to take some pics of our bikes. It was 22.5 hours on the bikes there and back. I took off at 3:30am and got home at 2:00am the next day. I posted a few pics on Insta. It was an amazing ride. And yes, I was ready to get off the bike when I got home.
@@BeardedFordTech It was worth it for no other reason than to be able to say I did a ride that long and survived. 😂 The most funny part was when I got pulled over for 142 in a 80 zone on a bike that the manufacturer says can only do 125. I'm not sure the cop appreciated it when I laughed when he told me the speed he locked me in at but it did result in him just giving a verbal warning to slow down. Truth, I was going the speed limit. It was dark and my headlight sucks big time and I couldn't see. 🤣
We have a ton of problems with our generators getting wet stacked a lot. People will rent a bigger genset than they actually need and not load them up nearly enough.
My son was driving an early 2000s Ford diesel work truck not his. It had a warm up cycle. Almost like a engine brake after it fired up a minute. Intended to get it up to operating temp before taking off. Wondering if that was an after market install.
Interesting subject to cover. Is it possible to clean these injectors with solvent? Now I understand why diesels use a dished piston. I noticed that diesel cylinder heads are flat with no combustion chamber. The dish in the piston must be a combustion chamber of sorts.
Yes you can run solvents and injector cleaner. They will help. But if it's real bad it will foul it out. Yes the piston has a "fuel bowl" where the air and fuel mix and go boom
@@BeardedFordTech Back in the 70s through the mid 80s SAAB used Bosch CIS fuel injection. We had a test pump with a hand lever and gauge that we could test and clean the injectors. It used mineral spirits. You could test the spay pattern and then set the unit with a rest pressure to check for any leak down. I was wondering if there was such a unit to test and clean these injectors.
@mlieser1230 yes. You can remove them. There is a machine you can put them in and it runs cleaner through them. At that point I would install new ones and keep the old ones that have been cleaned as spares
I would say 300-500 at idle to low cruising speeds, 500-800 during normal acceleration to high cruising speeds, and 800-1300 at high acceleration or wide open throttl
No. I just showed you three in sectors from three different ones. One of them was starting to. And that was one that doesn't get driven aot. It's like a spare
Is it true on newer vehicles, the truck will go into a high idle to help raise temp to burn off fuel My 22 has gone into a high idle when idling in cold weather usually if I let it idle for 10 or more minutes after startup
@BeardedFordTech another thing I was confused about is I installed a high idle switch, and even if water temp is below 80 degrees, my cooling fan comes on which sort of defeats the purpose of bringing operating temp up quicker in cold weather
