    I have one and use the knob to both test "Exact presures" and "Bleed off" for removal.
    Testing run the pump presur up as high as you can (one pop) and repressure with knob Half way out or a lil more. Then turn the knob in you can see "Exact" pop pressure without the needle bounce. Then when you back the knob out.. it releases pressure for injector removal.

    Just bought one of the myself.. 3 spelling mistakes in the instructions.. disappointly..😏 anyhoo… the screw in handle which was leaking… you can use that to do a ‘leak test’ so what you do is pump up the pressure but stop before the ‘pop’ pressure and screw that handle in and leave it.. if fuel leaks out.. the injector needs sorting etc. At least that’s how it meant to be.

    I’m a fuel injection technician. Not a a bad effort. The knobs on pop testers are to lock the gauge off usually or to adjust flow. Yours looks like a lock off knob.

    do a teardown of the pop tester
    I found a lot of crap in mine, especially the one way valve inside was caked with metal shavings and grinding dust
    but you need to mount it on a solid surface cuz all the threads are tight af

    Hi, where did you get the shims from and what thickness are they avaliable in or is there an "all rounder" size? Thanks

      There's a kit on ebay, they come in a couple standard thicknesses, but you can mix and match multiple shims to get the desired thickness.

    So maybe that turn nob is to simply bleed off the remaining pressure so you can safely remove the injector. You tighten it up fully, test it, and then untwist it to release. My guess is that you'll still have up to 3k of pressure left after it pops, so you don't want to unscrew your injector with the fuel still pressurized.

    • @toocheaptosmoke

      True, that might be the right way.

      @@toocheaptosmoke I'd recommend to just factory delete that thing
      put a plug in there or cut it off and weld it shut
      I went for a tester without that valve cuz the amazon reviews guided me in that direction
      even if you can get it to seal, it's very difficult to actually get a moving shaft tight, especially at these pressures
      edit
      also it was cheaper without the valve

    How did you get your tester to hold at 3000 psi? I hooked mine up and every injector i pump them up and mine are bigger and all pop around 4000-4200 psi but after they pop the pressure slowly goes down. Even if i pump it up right to before they pop the pressure still goes down on the gauge slowly... and non of the injector tips seem to drip or leak. Thanks

    • @toocheaptosmoke
      @toocheaptosmoke  5 років тому +3

      I would leave the knob about a turn or two out, then after you've pumped up some pressure close it the whole way and see if that works.

      @dennis smith uh no he isn't right, the entire unit is an injector, the piece sticking out passed the copper sealing washer on the bottom is the nozzle. If you go to 9:25 you can see the new nozzles swapped in.

    • @dennissmith460
      @dennissmith460 Рік тому

      @Evan Ward
      No, the entire unit is a fuel nozzle. The part swapped out is just the tip. Pre electronic cat engines use the same system. That nozzle has a tip, spring, and metering plate, which only allows flow in one direction and ensurese the fuel pressure is enough to atomize the fuel. Thus, the pop off pressure. An injector supplies the pressurized fuel. Usually through a plunger assembly. With a fuel nozzle pressure is supplied by the pump. Usually having plungers and a rack to meter the fuel.

    • @EvanWSH
      @EvanWSH Рік тому

      @dennis smith so you're going to argue that the only technical fuel injectors are heui units and anything else including every single common rail injector is not technically an injector and anyone who refers to it as such is wrong.
