620HP 15.0L Cummins fuel system diagnosis. (Part 2)

Will we finally get the 9620R started? The story finally continues. Got the tractor back in the shop for more diagnostics. In an earlier video, diagnostics led to replacing the high pressure fuel injection pump. During the repair, I noticed the inlet screen to the pump was clogged, so I suspected a contaminated fuel system. Could not build enough rail pressure to start. Replacing the pump finally got the engine running, but it would not start without ether and once it was running, it was rough and smoking really bad. In this video, we finally get to fix all the issues the contaminated fuel damaged, which includes replacing the fuel injectors and flushing the fuel tank.

You had a big leak. I work on isx15 engines all the time. I am a Cummins warranty certified. I have the paperwork to prove it. One thing to note. Before swapping the injectors check the torque of the high pressure fuel connectors that go into the block. I have seen so many come with a hard start and the fuel connector nuts are loose not hand loose but looser then the torque spec due to normal engine vibration. Now when a injector is replaced it does fix the issue because the fuel tube has to be removed and re-installed. For your case the injectors could have been bad due to the bad fuel.

Thanks Zeth for a very interesting video. I have been ranting most of my life about having clean fuel and having filters on bulk-storage tank dispensers, cleaning tank filler/caps on machinery and the potential issues more recently with bio-fuels and algae. This really has shown the issues it can cause and the real expense too!

Thanks for another great video. It was most interesting and informative. Wow. Those injectors are really sensitive to the quality of the fuel. I had heard that but you and Josh just showed how sensitive they are. This exercise in replacing the injectors was most interesting. The amount of fuel in your cup was extremely lower than with the old injectors. Appreciate you and Josh working together. You two make an excellent team. Thanks to both of you. Just goes to show how sensitive these injectors are to fuel quality. Learned a lot on this one ZK. Thanks for everything ZK and Josh. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Good grief! That 9620R is a verrry expensive "fuel contamination sensor", haha. The customer might want to get their farm's diesel tank cleaned real good and throw some new hoses and extra filters on that. Also put a filter in the stationary tank's fill port and have a look at that after their next delivery to see if they need to have some words with their vendor.

@toddhebel6048 6 күн бұрын

That is was I was thinking. The cost of this problem is unbelievable. I doubt it was the fuel vendor BUT a potential weak point. More likely it was the farm and its management process. I would start there and then look at the fuel vendor. The fuel vendor should look up stream at his supplier. I would love to know what this bill ended up to be. Any guess? PM is almost always worth the cost.

@2xKTfc 6 күн бұрын

@@toddhebel6048 $3400 per injector alone and that's just the beginning. I agree, more likely the farm got the dirt into the fuel, or more of their equipment would be on the fritz. Then again, the other machines might eat dirt sooner than later if they don't get on top of their fuel handling. It's unlikely to be the vendor, but when you're spending mid-five figures (at least?) on rebuilding the tractor then $100 for a filter on the bulk tank ain't gonna break the bank.

When torqueing with an offset make sure that you keep the offset 90 degrees to the torque wrench so that your straight line distance is the same. If offset is straight on torque wrench then your force applied is greater and you have over torqued it.

If the injector return flow test fails. Retorque hp connectors first. Cummins fuel filters have a plug that will not allow unfiltered fuel into clean side of filter if you prefill. Maybe th JD version doesn't have this. You threw every part in the fuel system at it, so I'd hope it's fixed.
