Abstract

The fogging of fuel into the combustion chamber is determined by the good condition  of the nozzle on the injector. If the nozzle is in a state of constraint, then  the nozzle cannot fog fuel optimally. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the decline in injector performance to the combustion process of diesel engines on the mt. Edricko 8 ship.this research was carried out on board the mt. Edricko 8 ship owned by pt. Bitumen marasende for one year. To carry out research by taking data on the object being researched related to the title. The results of the study show that the decreased performance of the injector to the combustion process of the diesel motor is the clogging of the nozzle  hole due to dirty fuel due to lack of maintenance of the supporting components of the fuel system, incomplete combustion causing carbon attached to the surface of the nozzle tip  and dripping of fuel on the nozzle which results in the formation of gases in the combustion chamber.
