Diesel Injection Pump Replacement Cost Estimate

We recommend repairing this vehicle outside, and draining the fuel tank before removal. These two safety steps will prevent injury to the DIYer or the professional. Lastly, there is a risk of fire, vapor leaks, and inhalation injury when the fuel tank has been opened. We recommend using the OEM sealant when reinstalling the fuel pump. If you smell fumes inside the vehicle after the repair, consult the repair facility immediately.

Unlike gasoline fuel systems, the components of a diesel system are manufactured to much higher standards, and are under much more stringent conditions. This greatly influences the cost of repair to diesel delivery systems, and should emphasize the need to properly maintain the diesel fuel delivery system according to factory recommendations. Lastly, on-board diagnostic (OBD) scanners may function in most vehicles, but not in select American trucks. The scanner should be universal, but some vehicles simply alert that there is no connection. For these situations, there may be an issue with the OBDII port or the scanner, or there may be a compatibility issue between the two.

Replacing high pressure diesel injection parts is dangerous, and methods for mitigating risk must be thoroughly understood and followed. Also, diagnosis of a faulty injection pump can be very difficult for a DIYer. This task is easier for a professional because they have the luxury of years of formal training, field experience, excellent scanning equipment, and have performed this repair previously in most cases. We recommend trusting a professional technician with the diagnosis and repair of faulty high pressure diesel fuel delivery system components. .
