What are the reasons for high fuel consumption in guardrail pile drivers?

Guardrail pile drivers are widely used mechanical equipment, but if there is a fault or improper operation, it can lead to abnormal fuel consumption. Today, let's explore the reasons behind the high fuel consumption of guardrail pile drivers:


1. Whether the guardrail pile driver uses high-quality diesel. Poor quality diesel can lead to serious carbon buildup inside the cylinder, causing wear on the piston rings and cylinder, increasing the gap, and leading to the combustion of engine oil within the combustion chamber, causing oil consumption.

2. After prolonged use of the pile driver engine, the valve clearance sealing gaskets can age, leading to inadequate sealing. Oil may then enter the cylinder through the valves and burn.

3. Observing oil burning in the guardrail pile driver and oil dripping from the exhaust may indicate wear or cracks in the piston rings.

4. Observing whether the pile driver emits blue smoke, which is a significant indicator of oil burning.

5. Engine oil leaks due to poor sealing of the guardrail pile driver engine itself.

6. Checking whether the oil consumption is due to damaged valve oil seals in the pile driver.

7. High oil consumption indicates a potential safety hazard, which requires attention. It's important to promptly identify and solve any problems!
