What is the injector back-leak test?
The back-leak test measures how much fuel each injector returns to the tank (rather than injecting) per actuation cycle. A new injector returns 0–15 ml; a worn injector returns 80–200 ml. High return fuel means the injector needle is worn and can no longer hold the fuel in the injection chamber, so rail pressure collapses. GarageNation tests all injectors simultaneously in 30 minutes.
Can I drive with a high back-leak injector?
Temporarily, yes — but high back-leak reduces rail pressure, causing hard starting and power loss. More critically, it means that injector is delivering inconsistent fuel quantity — causing rough idle and potential misfires. Book within 1–2 weeks to prevent the rail pressure issue spreading to other injectors.
Is injector back-leak test covered by car insurance in India?
Standard comprehensive motor insurance covers injector back-leak test only if the damage was caused by an accident or a specified peril (fire, flood). Mechanical failure from wear is not covered. Some premium insurance add-ons (engine protect, gearbox protect) do cover diesel injector failures — check your policy document. GarageNation provides detailed repair reports for insurance claims.
