Fuel System Borescope Application
One important borescope application is in fuel systems. Manufacturers of mission-critical fuel systems and fuel system components for automotive, aviation and diesel use Hawkeye Borescopes to inspect for burrs, cross-hole alignment, surface finish irregularities, and numerous other possible defects in fuel injector nozzles, miniature hydraulic parts, fuel manifolds, and much more! View a few examples of fuel system borescope applications below.
