Well I sure about screwed up the other day. Was working (solo) behind a fence washing some stripper off and finished the section and walked around to turn the HydroTek skid off. As I walked up water was pouring from under the engine area, or so I thought. As I looked it was diesel coming out of the burner cylinder pouring right on top of the exhaust!! I got it all shut down "just" in time as it was smoking off as I was doing so....Then the perfect Chinies fire drill around the truck getting it unhooked from the trailer so it wouldn't go up too....:willy_nilly:
I have had a burner issue where it wouldn't fire sometimes and haven't got it taken care of, and apparently the burner switch got flipped when I took the cover off and the fuel pump started pumping fuel into the burner until it came out every hole it could find. Yea not too good.....Question is what have I done? Bad or do I just take it apart and let it dry or is it a full on cleaning meaning taking it into the shop? I've taken the end cap off so it will dry but will the diesel dry up enough to ever fire without a tear down or rebuild. I thought the fuel was suposed to shut off if there were no fire to it. Thanks...
