Engine: Motor Plants and Auxiliary Boilers

Question 1,880 of 1,433

The six-cylinder engine is fitted with a high-pressure distributor type pump with hydraulically operated injector nozzles. When you slacken the high-pressure fuel line at #4 fuel injector nozzle, the engine runs even rougher than before. Upon re-tightening the high-pressure fuel line fitting, the engine reverts back to the original roughness before the fitting was slackened. What does this indicate?
