Identification Description The Bosch throttling pintle-type injector nozzle can The D3.0L/150, D3.6L/180 and D4.2L/220 diesel be identified as shown. engines use a throttle pintle type injector nozzle. This type of nozzle is used with a turbulence chamber (prechamber), which is located in the cylinder head.

Due to fuel injector design changes the 530 D-TA, 636 D-TA, D183 and D219 Model fuel injector MUST NOT be used in a D254, D3.0L/150, D3.6L/180 or a CAUTION D4.2L/220 engine under any conditions. However, the new-style D254 or a D4.2L/220 fuel injector DO NOT operate engine without cooling water CAN BE used in all engines as a replacement.
