Diesel Shops Near Puyallup

Diesel means fuel efficiency and when you need a diesel engine repair or a turbo rebuild, give 15th Street Automotive a call or schedule a repair online. Diagnosing what is wrong with your diesel engine can be more difficult than a traditional gasoline engine since they tend to run louder. Allow our expert staff to troubleshoot your issues to ensure that the proper repair procedures are followed to repair the engine.

Signs there might be a problem with your diesel-powered vehicle:

• The engine runs at a lower RPM than normal
• You have trouble starting your vehicle
• The engine keeps running after shutting off the vehicle
• Black smoke from under the hood
• Clunking, pinging, tapping, or knocking sounds coming from the engine

Every diesel engine manufacturer requires different preventive maintenance procedures, so refer to your owner’s manual to help plan and schedule routine maintenance services. Keep all diesel engine components—glow plugs, fuel injectors, and turbochargers—in proper working order to increase the life of your diesel engine system and promote overall vehicle maintenance.

Diesel Engine Repair

Diesel engine systems are built with durability, reliability, and optimization in mind. It’s important to keep track of diesel performance. Diesel engine systems are designed to use their own compression to ignite fuel. The rate of compression in a diesel engine is more than three times that of a regular gasoline system. The air is compressed at a high ratio, which introduces a great amount of heat. Following this compression, fuel is directly injected into the cylinder, where the fuel vapor is ignited. Diesel engines are built without spark plugs. Instead, diesel systems use glow plugs, which have two heating elements that allow them to get very hot very quickly for fast starts. Turbochargers increase the compression ignition by quickly compressing the air flowing into the engine, allowing for more air to flow into the chamber. More air in the combustion chamber means more fuel can be added to the combustion process. Turbochargers provide diesel engine systems with improved efficiency, and ultimately, more miles per gallon of diesel fuel.
