Troubleshooting Common Diesel Generator Problems

Diesel generators are a reliable source of power especially when temporary but substantial power is needed. But they can experience problems from time to time. Here are some of the most common diesel generator problems and how to troubleshoot them:

Noisy Generator

  • Possible causes and Solutions: A loose belt, worn bearings, or a faulty muffler. Check the belt for tightness, listen for unusual noises, and inspect the muffler for damage. If the noise is loud or persistent, or if you cannot identify the source of the noise, then you need to contact a qualified technician.

Overheating

  • Possible causes and Solutions: A clogged air filter, a dirty radiator, a faulty water pump, or a problem with the engine itself. Check the air filter and clean it if necessary. Check the radiator for dirt and debris, and flush it if necessary. If the radiator is clean and everything appears to be normal to you, it is now the best time to contact a qualified technician.

The engine Won’t Start

Check the fuel pump and fuel filter for blockages. If the battery and fuel system are working properly, Stop! Pick up your phone and contact him – yeah, that qualified technician.

Other common diesel generator problems and possible solutions:

  • Overloading: This means using more appliances that the generator can supply energy for. This can cause the generator to overheat or shut down. Simple switch off unnecessary appliances to reduce the load demand on the generator. Let it cool down, then restart the engine. If the problem persists, no need to fear or panic, just contact a qualified technician or better still call us at Prime Radiant Energy Solutions Ltd.
  • Fuel leaks: These can be caused by a faulty fuel line or a loose fuel cap. Simply block the leak or change the faulty line. It is best to let a qualified technician handle this operation.
