What are the reasons for high fuel consumption in Cummins engines?
1 Answers
The reasons for high fuel consumption in Cummins engines are as follows: 1. Tire pressure: If the tire pressure is insufficient, fuel consumption will increase; if the tire pressure is normal, check the wear level of the tires. Severe tire wear can lead to frequent slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 2. Excessive carbon deposits: This can cause higher fuel consumption, often due to the use of substandard fuel. 3. Damaged oxygen sensor: The oxygen sensor primarily monitors the air-fuel ratio in the engine. If it is damaged, the air-fuel ratio will become unbalanced, inevitably leading to abnormally high fuel consumption. 4. Malfunction in an engine control unit: If one of the control units fails, it may result in increased fuel consumption, accompanied by poor power performance and thick black exhaust emissions.
