Hydrolock info on diesel. week 1 winter quarter 40 hours

last week I worked on a piping job at Williams and have been learning about tubing installation and threading pipe . today  I was diagnosing a 6.0 powerstroke steps to do to finding root causes of malfunction  to components. during my research I learned that  Diesel engines are more susceptible to hydrolock than gasoline engines. Diesel engines have a much smaller final combustion chamber volume, requiring much less liquid to hydrolock. Diesel engines also tend to have higher torque, rotating inertia, and stronger starter motors than gasoline engines. The result is that a diesel engine is more likely to suffer catastrophic damage. Diesels can also hydrolock if water builds up in the injector systems and is injected into a running engine in place of fuel[

  1. Thanks Raul,

    I'd say we all had a 'learning' kind of day today, eh?
