Diesel Injection Pumps - CP4 Disaster Prevention Kits

CP4 disaster prevention kits address potential problems associated with the Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump in diesel engines. These kits often include components like upgraded fuel systems to enhance durability and mitigate the risk of pump failure, especially when using low lubricity fuels. However, their necessity depends on specific vehicle and fuel conditions. Consulting with an expert is advisable for informed decisions on whether to install these kits.

More About CP4 Disaster Prevention Kits

Known Issues:

  • Lack of Lubrication: CP4.2 pumps are highly sensitive to the lubricity of diesel fuel. When low lubricity fuels, such as those with high levels of ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), are used, the pump's components may experience increased wear and reduced lifespan.
  • Metal Debris: In some cases, the pump can experience internal failure, leading to metal debris circulating within the fuel system. These metal particles can cause extensive damage to injectors and other fuel system components.
  • Catastrophic Failure: CP4.2 pumps are prone to catastrophic failure, which can result in significant engine damage and costly repairs. This failure often occurs suddenly and without warning.
  • Injector Damage: When the pump fails, it can send metal particles downstream into the fuel injectors. These particles can damage or seize the injectors, necessitating their replacement.
  • Expensive Repairs: Repairing or replacing a CP4.2 pump and associated components can be expensive, often costing thousands of dollars.
  • Fuel System Contamination: The debris generated by a failing CP4.2 pump can contaminate the entire fuel system, including the fuel tank, lines, and filters.
