    Hi Josh, When your cups are leaking I also assume it can cause coolant leaking into your engine oil, does that happen often with leaking cup seals?

    @IndependenceIron 20 годин тому

    Curious what the syptoms were. Was engine running rough etc? And would it hurt the engine to run it for a long time this way if it wasn't running noticiably bad? Reason i ask is I bought a C7 truck from auction and i noticed fuel was red. Runs great, and assumed it was farmer diesel but coolant was just above the low mark. Added a little and drove it home. Seems fine, but now im wondering if it has leaky cups.

    Had a fuel in the coolant problem on a Mack MP10, very weird tho. We thought it was cups at first and changed them. Unit ran for like a week after no issues, then it happened again. Tried other things, had the head pressure checked and such, but each time it would take a week for the fuel to show back up in the coolant. Turned out the older 7th injectors were cooled with coolant, and this one cracked internally. When the truck would push fuel into the coolant on regens

    We had an engine that kept putting fuel in the coolant but no coolant in the fuel. Volvo coolant o-rings and such do not tolerate petroleum at all and you tear down a lot of stuff to plug the leaks. When it came in the third time with fuel in the coolant and leaking coolant everywhere I pitched a fit. The fuel system had ben pressure and vacuum tested, cups replaced, head replaced , escalated tech support, bla, bla, bla. I went to the yard with the foreman and got a nice little nugget of info from the driver finally. In the shed with coolant and oil barrels there was also a fuel barrel...... Idiot driver thought the coolant needed topping off and somehow couldn't tell the difference between coolant and diesel. For some reason that wasn't covered by warranty and they wound up paying for that misery, about 100 hrs labor and parts.
