Diesel Problems We Fix
Diesel problems often start small: a little smoke, a slow start, a gauge creeping higher than usual. Catching them early saves serious money.
We work on the major marine diesel makes, including Cummins, Caterpillar, Yanmar, Volvo Penta and Detroit Diesel.
Hard starting?
Air in the fuel system, weak glow plugs, a tired starter or low compression can all make a diesel reluctant to fire. We narrow it down quickly.
Smoke from the exhaust?
White, black and blue smoke each point to different problems, from injectors and air intake to oil getting where it shouldn't. We diagnose by symptom, not by guesswork.
Running hot?
Clogged heat exchangers, aftercoolers and raw-water strainers are common culprits. We clean, test and repair the whole cooling circuit.
Losing power?
Dirty fuel, failing injectors or turbo problems can rob a diesel of performance. We test and restore it to full output.
