Fuel injector leaking, what will happen to combustion. exhaust gas temperature,? Indicator diagram of a leaking fuel injector

Effects:Loss in power,smoke in exhaust,high exhaust temperature,knock and pressure wave in the injection system. it leads to incorrect combustion since fuel p/p wave must fill the vacuum created due to the leak, it also leads to trumpet formation due to gases blow back

Remedy: overhaul n maintain, check fuel purification and maintain injector at right temperature

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
