How To Check The Fuel Consumption of A Second-hand Rotary Drilling Rig

If you want to purchase a second-hand rotary drilling rig, fuel consumption is a key consideration factor. High fuel consumption will significantly increase the later usage cost. So, how exactly can we detect its fuel consumption? The following six detection methods can help you make an accurate judgment.

1. Check usage records: Ask the seller to provide information such as the refueling records and working hours of the equipment, and analyze the fuel consumption data under different working conditions. If the records are incomplete or inconsistent, one should be cautious.

2. Observe the fuel system: Carefully check the fuel tank and fuel pipes for any signs of oil leakage, and whether the fuel filter is clogged. Oil leakage can lead to inflated fuel consumption, and a malfunctioning filter can also affect fuel efficiency.

3. Startup test: Start the drilling rig and observe whether the engine starts smoothly. Difficulty in starting and unstable idle speed are very likely to cause problems with the fuel injection system, which will indirectly increase fuel consumption.

4. Simulated operation test: Under the premise of safety, simulate the actual operation scenario and record the fuel consumption within a certain period of time. Compare the normal fuel consumption of the new model of the same type to determine if it is abnormal.

5. Check the engine condition: Use professional equipment to test the engine cylinder pressure, the atomization effect of the fuel injectors, etc. A decline in engine performance will lead to incomplete fuel combustion, and fuel consumption will naturally increase.

6. Consult the original operator: Ask the original operator about the fuel consumption performance of the equipment during daily use and whether there has been a sudden increase in fuel consumption to obtain more accurate first-hand information.

To test the fuel consumption of a second-hand rotary drilling rig, a multi-dimensional investigation is required. From recording data to actual testing, and then to consulting professionals, no link can be ignored. Only through comprehensive inspection can the fuel consumption of the equipment be accurately determined, avoiding the purchase of "fuel guzzlers" and saving unnecessary costs for subsequent construction and operation.
