Pressure

Hi all,

The pressure of the low pressure lubricating oil system on my 1300 series perkins diesel generator is too low? What could be causing this ?

thanks all

Hello Miguel,

To me sounds like you've got the wrong grade of lubricating oil, not enough lubricating oil in sump, defective gauge, dirty lubricating oil filter? Maybe your crankshafts bearing are worn or damaged, lubricating oil sump is worn or your relief valve does not close.

These are the only thing i can think off that would cause this to you. Hope you sort this out.

Good luck
