If you are the C/E, what would be the best course of action that you would do? ( Please read the following.)?

Question

A C/E is having a problem with his Main Propulsion Machinery since it has a very high fuel consumption compared when the said Propulsion machinery was brand new. His 2/E tells him one day that a probable cause might be the improper combustion of the fuel on the cylinders 1 and 5. One day, they decided to pull out the injectors at cylinders 1 and 5 and they found out further that the said injectors delivers the correct amount of fuel, however the viscosity and spray pattern was not at the optimum. If you are the C/E, what would be the best course of action that you would do? Support your answer and support any course of action that you would do if necessary.

Answer 1

I would "run the rack". In other words adjust the injectors on all of the cylinders until they were right. If that wasn't working replace the injectors. Also make sure that the proper amount of air was entering the cylinder. Improper viscosity may be bad fuel.
