I suppose through the miracle of modern medicine, we can just lop-off whatever appendage is affected.Yeah, has there actually been any such documented incidents? No doubting the dangers obviously, just have never seen or read of someone actually being injured from the HPCR system.
The only fuel system related death I'm aware of occurred in Alabama I think. Guy unbolts an injector in a bulldozer and has his assistant crank the engine over. Cylinder fires, injector dislodges and decapitates the technician.
It was an MSHA controlled site, there should be a record of it somewhere.
We diagnosed a failed injector for one of our bus customers. They took it back and repaired it. It burnt to the ground the morning it was placed back in service. It was a special needs bus and had just unloaded and was leaving the school.
The pressures involved are dangerous, and shouldn't be downplayed. It's instinctual to place your hand over a spray if it's hitting your face.
