Diesel Engine Carbon Buildup: The Hidden Threat to Efficiency and Longevity

Diesel engines, especially those powering generators, are susceptible to carbon buildup, particularly during low-load or idle operation. This buildup results from incomplete combustion, where carbon deposits accumulate in the combustion chamber, injectors, and exhaust valves. Over time, these deposits restrict airflow, impair fuel atomization, and significantly reduce engine efficiency, performance, and longevity.
