the nozzle tip with high pressure. Under this amount of pressure, the
test fluid can pierce the skin and cause serious injury to the operator.
Always keep the tip of the fuel injection nozzle pointed away from the
operator and into the fuel collector and extension.

NOTICE
Always ensure that the test fixture is in proper working order. Check
that the fluid reservoir contains clean test fluid. Failure to do so may
damage the fuel nozzles that you are testing and will reduce the life of
the test equipment.

Note: Prior to starting this test procedure, the 5P-4150 Nozzle Testing Group must be equipped with
a 8T-0860 Pressure Gauge . Replace the original 8T-0859 Pressure Gauge with the 8T-0860 Pressure
Gauge . Refer to Tool Operating Manual, SEHS7292, "Using the 5P-4150 Nozzle Testing Group" for
information that relates to the replacement of the pressure gauge.

Inspect the Fuel Nozzle for Damage

may contribute to the improper operation of the fuel nozzle. Check for signs of damage that may have
been caused by any of the following conditions:
Engine overheating (discolored fuel nozzles)
Improper cleaning (use of a wire brush for cleaning)
Partially melted carbon dam seal
Fuel nozzles that are deformed or bent
Cracking or splitting of the nozzle tip
Other obvious damage
Note: If there are signs of engine overheating, all of the fuel nozzles must be replaced.
If any of these forms of damage has been found, do not use the damaged fuel nozzle.

Install the Fuel Nozzle onto the Test Fixture

Note: Be sure to check the test fixture for leaks prior to performing this test procedure. Refer to Tool
operating Manual, SEHS7292, "Using the 5P-4150 Nozzle Testing Group" for information that is
related to the operation of the nozzle testing group.

This fuel nozzle uses an internal valve with a two-stage relief action. During the first portion of the valve movement,
an audible click can be heard and a small amount of fuel will be released. As valve opening pressure is achieved, the
second portion of the valve movement begins the injection cycle.

If the fuel nozzle is not within specifications, stop the test and do not use the nozzle.

Check for Tip Leakage

1. Close the gauge protector valve (0 to 40,000 kPa (0 to 5,800 psi) gauge).
2. Flush the fuel nozzle that is being tested by pumping the tester for 3 full strokes.
3. Open the gauge protector valve (0 to 40,000 kPa (0 to 5,800 psi) gauge).
4. Use a clean cloth to dry the tip and the body of the fuel injector. All test fluid should be wiped
from the nozzle assembly.
5. A clean cloth should be wrapped around the top of the fuel nozzle in order to absorb any
internal return leakage. The cloth should cover the hole for the purging screw in order to absorb
any leakage from the hole.
6. Calculate the test pressure that will be used for the tip leakage test.
Use the minimum value of the fuel nozzle's valve opening pressure to calculate the test pressure
for the nozzle that is being tested.
a. Subtract a value of 1,380 kPa (200 psi) from the minimum valve opening pressure for the
nozzle.
b. Record the result of the calculation as the test pressure that will be used for the tip
leakage test.
7. Slowly apply the test pressure, that has been calculated in Step 6, to the fuel nozzle.
8. Close the pump isolator valve. Use the pump isolator valve to adjust the test pressure and close
the valve in order to maintain the test pressure.
9. Hold this test pressure for 15 seconds.
10. Count the number of drops of test fluid that drips from the nozzle during the duration of the
test. Open the pump isolator valve in order to release the pressure on the fuel nozzle when the
test is completed.
Refer to the information that is provided in Table 3 in order to evaluate the results of the test.
Table 3
Specifications for Tip Leakage
No more than 3 drops in 15 seconds

Note: For this test, each full stroke of the pump should be performed in less than one second.
a. Rapidly increase the pressure on the fuel nozzle until fluid sprays from the tip of the fuel
nozzle.
b. Test fluid should spray from the tip of the nozzle in a pattern that is uniform. Refer to
Illustration 2.
3. Check the individual spray orifices for partial plugging.
a. Use a moderate pump stroke in order to open the valve of the fuel nozzle.
b. During the pump stroke, view the individual spray orifices for partial plugging.
The test fluid should spray uniformly from all of the orifices.
If an orifice is plugged or the pattern is distorted, clean the fuel nozzle's orifice(s) and repeat this test.
Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8627, "Use of 8S-2245 Nozzle Cleaning Tool Group" for
instructions on tool usage and cleaning procedures.

Test the Fuel Nozzle for Seal Leakage

Note: Testing for seal leakage is not a requirement for the 104-9450 Fuel Nozzle , 104-9452 Fuel
Nozzle , 104-9453 Fuel Nozzle , or the 104-9454 Fuel Nozzle . Do not perform this test on these fuel
nozzles.

3. Tighten purging screw (D) or purging screw (E) to a torque of 2.2 0.8 Nm (20 7 lb in).
Note: Use a 6V-4980 Torque Screwdriver Tool Group in order to torque the purging screw.
4. Apply a test pressure of 13,800 kPa (2,000 psi) to the fuel nozzle.
Note: Due to the large amount of test fluid that is delivered to the fuel nozzle, hydraulic lock
may prevent the nozzle from opening during this test. If a hydraulic lock occurs, slowly loosen
the adapter fitting in order to relieve the pressure on the fuel nozzle's valve assembly.
If there is leakage at the purging screw, install a new 8C-3234 Screw and a 114-3364 Washer as
replacement parts. Retest the fuel nozzle for leaks.
Do not use the nozzle if there is leakage that cannot be repaired at purging screw (A), upper seal joint
(B), or lower seal joint (C) .
