ANALISIS KEGAGALAN KINERJA FUEL INJECTION PUMP GUNA MENCEGAH BREAKDOWN PADA MESIN PENGGERAK UTAMA DI MT.SUCCESS VICTORY XXXIV

Abstract

The main propulsion engine on a ship is highly dependent on the performance of the fuel injection pump system. This system functions to supply high-pressure fuel to the injector for perfect combustion in the main propulsion engine. This study aims to identify and analyze intensive efforts in the maintenance of fuel injection pump components to address problems of plunger barrel damage, the amount of soot residue in the fuel injection pump components, and wear on other components. This study was conducted based on the author’s sea practice on MT. Success Victory XXXIV, where cases of damage such as plunger barrel damage and the amount of soot residue in the fuel injection pump components were found. The results of this study are expected to provide practices in preventing component damage and maintaining fuel injection pump performance, in order to maintain fuel quality and support the operation of the main propulsion engine on board the ship optimally.
