Hypotheses

Summary

A fluid (or vapour) has attacked the glued joint and caused failure.

 

Background

The bond between glue and steel ring is primarily a chemical bond at the passivation layer on the metal surface. It can be destroyed chemically by certain fluids if they get into the joint. This scenario is proven. The glue material is not harmed; only the atomic bonding between the glue material and the steel’s passivation-layer material.

Chemical attack is highly temperature dependant, faster at high temps. For some fluids the rate of attack is only significant above a certain temperature. To progress through the full 4 mm thickness of the band of glue takes time. In other words, the right metric is ‘Time@Temp”.

Finally there will be an entire dis-bond of the glue leaving a clean ring (which we see here). Therefore the presence of a disruptive fluid (or vapour) is an essential pre-requisite for this failure mode. There are several hypotheses about what this fluid or vapour could be and where it came from.

 

Hypothetical fluids or vapours causing the failure
A A unique (but unidentified) fluid used by NPN (but not in Pisa and TRU) during manufacture of the rail assembly or maintaining the machines
B The calibration fluid (called Cal-fluid) used in production process by Trutnov when adjusting the sensor’s Pressure transfer-function. Memo; previously considered harmless to the bond but hypothetically harmful at excegtionallt high values of ‘Time@Temp’.
C A mixture of Cal-fluid and the Acetone used by NPN to clean reworked rails

 

Weaknesses of Hypothesis A and B

Hypothesis A; Damage by a fluid in NPN

(1) Do NPN use such a fluid and can it contaminate the sensor?

(2) Was there a change? Was this fluid a recent addition to the process?

 

Hypothesis B; Damage by the Cal fluid used in TRU

(1) Is it plausible that Fuel Rails transported from PISA experience lower Time@Temp than from NPN ?

(2) What is different about the summer 2019 compared to previous summers?

 

Countermeasures & Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment

It is not possible to make a sensible assessment without knowing what is the problem fluid.

For example, the assessment would different if it were Trutnov’s Cal. fluid (which has been used all of the last 4 years) compared to if it were a fluid used in NPN which was introduced more recently.
So top priority is to identify the fluid.

 

Countermeasures

100% capable automatic 100N test before delivery out of Trutnov Introduction of Overmold connector as Final corrective action due date cw40.

  • After testing the fuel pressure by YSTOOL gasoline engine fuel injection pressure tester, compare the reading with the recommended pressure range. If higher, it could be a faulty fuel pressure regulator or a bent clogged return line. If lower, possible causes are dirty fuel filter, weak pump function, incorrect fuel tank exhaust, restricted fuel line, clogged pump inlet filter or electrical control failure. Petrol is highly flammable, please ask professionals to operate with no open fire nearby
