Question

Why do fuel injectors leak in high-mileage diesel engines?

Answer

Worn injector seals and internal valve deposits cause leakage.

Explain

High-mileage diesel injectors (100k+ miles) develop leaks. CHEPQ leak-down tests identify leaking injectors (fuel drips after shutdown), and ultrasonic cleaning or replacement restores proper fuel delivery.
