CAUTION - ENGINE LOAD (WET-STACKING)
Wet-Stacking is a common problem with diesel engines
which are operated for extended periods with light or no
load applied. When a diesel engine operates without
sufficient load (less than 40% of the rated output) it will
not operate at its optimum temperature. This will allow
unburned fuel to accumulate in the exhaust system, which
can foul the fuel injectors, engine valves and exhaust
system, including turbocharges, and reduce the operating
performance.
In order for a diesel engine to operate at peak efficiency it
must be able to provide fuel and air in the proper ratio and
at a high enough engine temperature for the engine to
completely burn all of the fuel.
Wet stacking does usually cause any permanent damage
and can be alleviated if additional load is applied to relieve
the condition. It can reduce the system performance and
increase maintenance. Applying an increasing load over
a period of time until the excess fuel is burned off and the
system capacity is reached usually can repair the condition.
This can take several hours to burn off the accumulated
unburned fuel.
