Understanding Power Imbalance from a Single Injector Failure

One fuel injector failure does not have the same consequences as applied to different engines in different environments. The smaller the engine (less cylinders), the larger the impact of one damaged fuel injector (16.7% loss of power) compared to the impact of one damaged fuel injector for a larger engine (only 5% loss of power). While the numbers may seem small for the loss of power, they have a significant effect on the delays in production, loss of operational hours and safety risks.
