A technician finds water in the clear bowl of the fuel/water separator on a common rail diesel. If the water is not removed and reaches the high-pressure components, which problem is the most likely result?
-
A
Increased fuel cetane number and smoother combustion
-
B
Higher fuel pressure at the rail caused by thicker fuel
-
C
Corrosion and scoring of the pump and injector parts, because water provides poor lubrication
-
D
Reduced fuel return flow caused by a plugged tank vent
