← TechnologyWhich risk increases when fuel injectors in a diesel engine experience dribbling at low engine loads?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Elevated exhaust gas temperature
C)Premature turbocharger bearing failure
D)Increased cylinder pressure oscillations
💡 Explanation
When diesel fuel injectors dribble fuel, incomplete combustion arises because the fuel doesn't atomize properly, bypassing the optimal air-fuel mixture, creating a surplus of unburnt hydrocarbons. Therefore increased hydrocarbon emissions result, rather than high exhaust temp, bearing failure, or cylinder oscillations, which originate from differing combustion issues.
