Clean fuel, clean running
Fuel Injection & Fuel Systems
Injectors, pumps, filters and fuel cleanliness sorted, the heart of a diesel that starts first time and runs clean.
On a diesel, most hard-starting, rough-running and power-loss problems come back to fuel. Dirty tanks, tired injectors, a filter that’s given up, small things that stop you enjoying the boat.
We service the whole fuel path, from the tank through to the injectors, so the engine fires first time and pulls the way it should.
What’s involved
Injectors & pumps
Injector and injection-pump service and replacement, set up correctly for your Yanmar model.
Filters & bleeding
Primary and secondary filters, water separators, and a proper bleed so there’s no air in the system.
Fuel cleanliness
Sorting dirty fuel and contaminated tanks, the quiet cause behind a lot of “won’t start” calls.
Genuine parts
Genuine Yanmar filters and fuel components off our own shelf in Artarmon, not whatever’s closest.
Why Sydney Diesel Marine
A diesel lives and dies on clean fuel. Get the fuel side right and most running problems disappear.

Phil’s tips
Straight from the workshop
Have your tappet clearances checked
Ask for the tappet clearances to be measured at your next service. Keeping them properly adjusted gives the engine a better performing, cleaner running life.
Tether the key to the sea cock
If you close the sea cock for the engine every time you leave the vessel, leave the engine key tethered to the sea cock handle. You physically cannot start the engine without opening the water first.
