← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs in a diesel engine when fuel injector nozzle wear increases clearance excessively?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Decreased cylinder compression ratio
C)Elevated exhaust gas temperature
D)Reduced turbocharger boost pressure
💡 Explanation
When injector nozzle clearance excessively increases, fuel atomization degrades because of lower fuel velocity exiting the enlarged orifice, promoting incomplete combustion and increasing unburned hydrocarbon emissions. Therefore emissions increase results, rather than compression ratio decrease, elevated temperatures, or boost pressure reduction which typically arise from other mechanical failures.
