If it becomes clogged, it can disrupt the flow of fuel. In a diesel engine, fuel is critical for maintaining the correct air-fuel mixture for combustion. When the regulator is clogged, it can either cause too much or too little fuel to reach the engine. Inconsistent Fuel Pressure: A clogged regulator can lead to fluctuating fuel pressure. Diesel engines rely on a steady fuel pressure to operate smoothly. If the pressure is inconsistent, the engine might not get the right amount of fuel at the right time, which can cause it to run poorly or stall. Engine Stalling: If the regulator is clogged to the point where it severely restricts fuel flow, the engine might not get enough fuel to sustain op ... read more
