    DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIGENOUSLY MADE DIESEL INJECTOR TESTER
    (World Journal of Engineering Research and Technology WJERT, 2019-09-20) Alabi, Ismaila Olanrewaju; Okediji, Adebunmi Peter; Owoo, Ezedeen Ademola; Nwachukwu, Gerald Chimaobi
    This work entails the design and construction of a diesel injector tester for proper spray pattern, leakages and pressure inspection. The mechanism is important as the injection system requires greater manufacturing precision and tight tolerance for the system to function efficiently. A diesel injector tester was designed with CREO Parametric CAD software after which the real hardware prototype was developed. The machine was tested and its performance was evaluated through the spray, pressure and leakage tests, respectively, as it worked perfectly. Conclusively, the machine was successfully completed having a unique ability of being modified as it can be utilized in any automobile workshop for proper diagnosis. Necessary recommendations were later made.
