← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when biodiesel fuel is contaminated with water in a fuel injection system?
A)Fuel pump cavitation and erosion✓
B)Increased exhaust valve temperatures
C)Premature DPF (diesel particulate filter) clogging
D)Reduced engine oil consumption
💡 Explanation
Fuel pump cavitation occurs due to water vaporizing at low pressure causing vapor bubbles that collapse violently. This is because the water changes phase in the pump, causing pitting on the pump surfaces through cavitation rather than simply lubricating. Therefore, fuel pump damage occurs.
