C) To atomize the fuel and inject it into the combustion chamber

B) To mix air with the fuel

A) To measure the fuel pressure

8 / 12

7. Potential Issues During Exhaust Stroke

Question: What could happen if the exhaust valve fails to open properly during the exhaust stroke of a marine diesel engine?

B) The engine will produce more power

A) The cylinder will overfill with fresh air

D) The fuel will not ignite during the power stroke

C) The combustion gases will remain in the cylinder, causing poor performance
