EPA Emission/Low Sulfur Fuel Impact on Military Generator Sets

Abstract

An analysis of the fuel injection system components for the Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG) sets was completed to determine the critical parts for inclusion in a fuel lubricity investigation. The investigation determined the impact of various fuels on fuel injection system wear. An injection system bench test stand was utilized for accumulating hours on the fuel-wetted injection system components using the various lubricity fuels. The component wear was evaluated to determine the relative wear of the fuel injection system barrel and plunger components with each fuel.
