Seems like a pretty simple and easy to use setup to test them. Another great video Rich.

[Jursaw]

I enjoy learning about diesel by watching your videos

[caduceus]

Thanks for this info, Rich, and thanks for leaving out the background music!

[josephndungu]

Hi, great video. I would like to know which car does the nozzle belong to
Thanks in advance.

[plowman]

Now what if you got some leak back to the return during the test but everything else is fine.

[benschannel]

May i ask, how many psi or bar need to this kind of injector inorder to start the engine?

[laserbeam]

That looked baws.., any chance of showing a rebuild of one of those...?

[lleryrosecorpuz]

Boss what is the posible causes why my 6hk1comon rail engine rpm not raise to up. The rpm when acelarate boss please help me sir

[adebowaledamilare]

What if common rail injector are returning diesel in higt way

[frontlinemedia]

So, would you recommend putting a little ATF in your tank to help clean a diesel sticking injector?

[gamerfull]

If they’re leaking would a new tip fix it? Or is it better to get another injector?

[RichardThompson-gccf]

I need fuel injector 471 detroit rebuilt its mechanical old 1957 diesel can you help

[mikehoneyman]

Does anybody know why my 1992 GMC doesn't want to start after as been warm it's not the glow plugs me tested all that has to have something to do with the injector pump the have to cross two wires to get it to fire up when it's been sitting for about 20-30 minutes now the set there and Frankie Frankie Frank

Great video, although ATF is not a lubricant to diesel! It actually increases the amount of wear on the injectors, but it makes a good cleaner. Optilube is the diesel lube additive, I highly recommend checking out the Optilube XL lubricant. It scored the best in wear scar testing independently by a long shot

[georgecastillo]

Where are you located ..? I'm here in Seattle Washington...
I have a turbo diesel Mercedes Benz 1991 350 SD diesel so like I said where are you located and fix my injector thank you bye

[bobfalse]

Great video, brought me back to the days I was learning about diesel engines and how to test their components. But I have to throw in my 2 cents: I was taught there are nozzles and injectors. The difference being a nozzle simply atomizes the fuel, and is what you just tested and called a mechanical injector. An injector was something that can meter the amount of fuel that it was atomizing. Thoughts?

[randomtech]

Dam when I subscribed to your channel you only had a few subscribers your all the way up to 25k and counting. Great 👍🏽

[WS-gwms]

Can you go into more detail on how it shows pop off pressure? or fuel metering?

[Drewsky-A]

If you lay on the pressure constantly, could you get a constant spray of fuel, rather than it spraying in short bursts?
