High Crankcase Pressure Implications and Actions

Question: If the daily engine log shows that the engine crankcase pressure gauge is indicating a much higher value than the normal reading, what are the implications and immediate actions that should be taken?

B) High crankcase pressure may indicate potential issues such as excessive blow-by or ventilation problems; immediately shut down the engine and inspect the crankcase ventilation system and seals.

A) The engine may be operating normally; no immediate action is required. Continue to monitor.

C) High crankcase pressure typically results from a faulty fuel pump; replace the fuel pump immediately.

D) The increased pressure is usually due to low oil levels; top up the engine oil and restart the engine.
