Columbus Mobile Semi Truck Repair

General information

Diesel engines are more complicated than gas engines. In fact, they are much more similar to a diesel-electric hybrid vehicle. The diesel engine is an air compressor that uses fuel to create heat, creating pressure that turns the compressor.

The first step in diagnosing a semi-truck not starting issue is figuring out if the problem is with the fuel, air, or electrical system. In most cases, you will find that the fuel system is causing issues.

The fuel filter will be located on top of the fuel tank and can sometimes be accessed from below the truck. You will need a 14mm wrench to loosen the hose clamp and allow you to pull off the old filter. New filters have a protective coating, so you will need to clean off or scrape off any residue before installing the new one. Columbus Mobile Semi Truck Repair is your next-door buddy who can help you diagnose and fix any fuel filter issues.
