Modern diesel engines have changed the way fuel is delivered. In the last decades, the PSI that is made by the fuel pump has increased dramatically. With this have come component failures and other complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can imagine that at 20,000 PSI any trash causes damage. We now have 2 stage filters to mitigate this but none of the fewer injectors seem to be a serviceable part these days. with that, you likely will have a bad one at some point in the life of your diesel engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I surveyed 10 shops around the USA <\/strong>and come up with an average cost and average mileage at failure for diesel fuel injectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does It Cost To Replace Diesel Fuel Injectors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On average, replacing a diesel engine fuel injector will cost $198 per injector. The price ranges <\/b>between $155 to $240 and will change by part availability, location, and local cost of labor. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find that one of the most volatile factors in this cost is the shop hourly rate in your area. I could not believe how much it varied by the area I called. It was $115 per hour in Florida and $145 per hour in Maryland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time of year could also be a factor in cost. The wintertime parts and labor costs are generally higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Often Do Fuel Injectors Need to Be Replaced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a general rule, diesel fuel injectors will need to be replaced between 150,000 to 250,000 miles. For the best performance, they should be inspected by a professional every 50,000 miles. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will obviously vary depending on how you take care of your engine. factors like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
