If one brake line is broken, do the other brakes still work?
1 Answers
Braking will still be possible, but the stopping distance will significantly increase. Below is relevant information about brake line fractures in vehicles: 1. Diesel engine high-pressure fuel line breakage: Check if the fuel injector is stuck in the closed position. If the injector is stuck while the engine is running and the plunger continues to inject fuel, the high-pressure fuel line has very limited pressure tolerance. Prolonged exposure to this pressure will cause the high-pressure fuel line to rupture. This issue can be identified by disassembling and inspecting the fuel injector - replacing the injector will solve the problem. 2. Poor fuel valve unloading: High-pressure fuel line fractures are also related to poor fuel valve unloading. If the fuel valve seal is ineffective or unloading is poor, resulting in excessive residual pressure or cavitation in the high-pressure fuel line, it will cause fatigue damage or cracks in the line. Prolonged engine operation beyond the fatigue strength of the high-pressure fuel line material will lead to line fractures.
