Endurance Rig Standardization for Fuel Systems: Eliminating Rig-Induced Failures through Engineering Process Control

Authors(2) :-Oluwapelumi Joseph Adebowale, Emmanuel Augustine Etukudoh

Fuel system components undergo rigorous endurance testing to validate performance and durability under simulated operational conditions. However, inconsistencies in test rig configurations and control parameters across laboratories have emerged as significant contributors to data variability and rig-induced failures. These discrepancies compromise test integrity, delay development cycles, and escalate cost burdens. This paper investigates the technical and procedural gaps in endurance rig operation and proposes a comprehensive model for standardization rooted in engineering process control (EPC). Drawing from a combination of experimental data, process audits, and industry benchmarks, the study highlights the extent to which uncontrolled rig variables—such as fixture geometry, actuation sequences, and ambient test conditions—distort test outcomes. A standardized rig protocol, backed by EPC principles, is developed to mitigate such inconsistencies. The methodology includes statistical evaluation of test data before and after rig standardization, revealing marked improvements in repeatability, failure diagnosis accuracy, and component assessment reliability. By integrating EPC tools such as Statistical Process Control (SPC), calibration cycles, and procedural harmonization, the paper demonstrates a scalable approach to endurance rig validation. Case studies involving high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors showcase the benefits of standardized testing in both research and production environments. Furthermore, the paper discusses the role of digital feedback systems and continuous improvement frameworks in sustaining rig compliance across global testing sites. The implications of this work extend beyond fuel systems, offering a blueprint for engineering-driven test standardization across other critical automotive domains. Recommendations are made for aligning industry practices with international standards such as ISO 9001 and SAE J1832, ensuring that endurance testing evolves in step with modern quality assurance expectations. This research concludes that engineering process control is not merely a quality tool, but a foundational pillar in achieving meaningful, reliable, and globally consistent test outcomes.
