WHY TEST YOUR DIESEL HIGH-PRESSURE COMMON RAIL FUEL PUMP?


Modern diesel common rail pumps operate at extremely high pressures and require precise control. Guessing based on symptoms alone can lead to unnecessary costs. A dedicated test bench assessment provides accurate results and prevents misdiagnosis.
Run at controlled speeds and loads
Confirm pump is functioning correctly
Measure pressure & delivery at multiple points
Identify if repair or reconditioning is possible
Check internal leakage & wear
Determine if replacement is the best option
Compare to manufacturer specifications

RECONDITIONING FOLLOWING BENCH TESTING
Reconditioning is a cost-effective alternative to replacement when the fuel pump is suitable for repair. Our technicians strip, clean and rebuild the unit, replacing worn components and restoring it to the correct specification. Every reconditioned pump is then calibrated and fully re-tested on the bench to ensure reliable pressure, flow and performance before being returned to you.
Our reconditioning process can include:
- Complete strip-down and detailed inspection
- Cleaning of internal components, including ultrasonic cleaning where appropriate
- Replacement of worn or damaged components, seals and gaskets
- Reassembly using quality parts and correct torque settings
- Calibration and setting to manufacturer specifications
- Final test bench verification of pressure and delivery
- Only fuel pumps that pass the final test bench checks are released back to the customer.
