Coastal Diesel Solutions — Bilambil NSW
Diesel Fuel Injection — Gold Coast & Tweed
Diesel fuel injection specialists serving the Gold Coast and Tweed. We test, recondition and repair common rail injectors, diesel pumps and complete fuel systems on all makes and models.
Diesel Fuel Injection done properly, the first time
The fuel system is where most serious diesel problems begin and end. Common rail systems run at pressures above 2,000 bar and inject fuel in doses measured in milligrams — which means a tiny amount of wear, water or contamination shows up as hard starting, rough idle, smoke, poor economy or a limp-home light. With over 20 years reconditioning diesel fuel systems and a workshop full of dedicated testing and calibration equipment, we find the actual fault instead of replacing parts and hoping.

Everything covered in your diesel fuel injection
Signs Your Diesel Fuel System Needs Attention
Hard starting when cold, a rattly or uneven idle, black or white smoke, a noticeable drop in fuel economy, loss of power under load, or a check engine light with rail pressure faults — these all point towards the injection system. Left alone, a leaking injector can wash the bore, damage a piston and turn a manageable repair into an engine rebuild.
We start with proper diagnosis: live data from the ECU, rail pressure testing, injector leak-off measurement and cylinder contribution testing. Only once we know which component is out of specification do we pull anything apart.
Injector and Pump Reconditioning
Our workshop is set up to test and recondition injectors and pumps rather than simply throwing new units at a vehicle, which often saves customers a significant amount of money. Injectors are flow tested across the full operating range, stripped, cleaned, fitted with new internals as required, and recalibrated against manufacturer data before they go back in.
Diesel pumps — common rail high pressure pumps, older rotary pumps and unit injectors — are rebuilt to specification and pressure tested. Where a unit is genuinely beyond economical repair, we will say so, and quote you on a quality replacement.
Contaminated Fuel and Water Damage
Bad fuel is a common cause of catastrophic injection damage, especially after filling in remote areas or from long-stored tanks. Water and dirt destroy the fine tolerances inside a common rail system very quickly. If you suspect a bad fill, stop driving and call us — the sooner the system is drained and flushed, the smaller the bill.
We handle full fuel system decontamination: tank drain and clean, line flushing, filter replacement and injector and pump inspection, then a road test with logging to confirm the system is back within specification.
"Great Service. Cleanest workshop I've ever seen. Mick was straight-up, no BS and really helped me sort out a long term idle hunting issue, adjusted the fuelling and now my 80series is running like a dream. I'm heading back in a few weeks for injectors and a fuel pump rebuild. Highly recommend."
— Mitchel Smith
"Mick and the team at Coastal Diesel were great to deal with. The service and installing King suspension on my Isuzu NPS truck was top notch."
— Sam Schoeller
"Was looking around for a solid while for someone to do a front swivel hub rebuild on my 80 Series Land Cruiser. Contacted a young fella named Riley and he managed to book it in for me with close to no notice and got it all done on a Thursday afternoon! Would 100% recommend Coastal Diesel Solutions to anyone in need of professional, talented, fair-priced repairs. 5 stars without a doubt! Solid work team 👏"
— Andrew Bower
"Had issues with my car going into limp mode. Been to multiple mechanics, no one could fix it. One of my mates said to go to Coastal Diesel and they didn't disappoint — they did a great job!"
— Radharaman Beresford
"Highly recommend. Fixed an ongoing problem with a power issue related to the turbo and fuel delivery. So much care in his work, very knowledgeable without the BS. I'll be trusting all future services and mechanical issues to Coastal Diesel Solutions."
— Janaka Peterson
"Put me immediately at ease when I added petrol instead of diesel to our car. Our car was back on the road within 24 hours. A genuinely nice person to deal with. Many thanks."

"Highly recommended. Dropped everything to sort a fuel issue we had with our 4WD whilst we were on holidays 1100 km from home."
— Lindsay Wallace
"Coastal Diesel did a major service and fuel system recondition to my newly restored 75 Cruiser. It runs like a dream and safe to say after a week at Fraser Island she has been put to the test. Nice to see decent workmanship is still around. Thanks to Mick and the team, I know where I'll be spending my money. Cheers!"
— Frank Waite
"Couldn't ask for better help. Mick is a top mechanic with a great personality. Don't bother wasting your money elsewhere!"
— Aaron Fairfull
"My 2013 diesel had been sick for a long time and many non-diesel mechanics charged a lot but couldn't fix it. Mick returned my call on his Christmas holidays and made time to check my car was safe to drive until he could book it in. He's kind, honest, reliable and genuinely professional — sent photos, kept me informed, and definitely won't rip you off. Turned out to be a cracked hose and solidified soot in the pipes. Now she purrs along with no smell and dramatically better fuel economy. If you have a diesel, you need a diesel specialist — and Mick is THE diesel specialist."
— Donna Dibben
"These guys installed a new engine in my Ford Transit when no Ford dealership would help. I'm now ready to take it back for its 1000 km check-up and can't find anything to complain about. Well done boys."
— Norm Morrow
