Which outcome occurs when a diesel engine's fuel injector exceeds its maximum temperature threshold?

💡 Explanation

Fuel coking will occur within the injector because exceeding the temperature results in thermal decomposition via pyrolysis of fuel components. Therefore, the injector clogs with carbon deposits, rather than the fuel atomizing correctly due to decreased viscosity with correct operating conditions.
