The ATC 8880658 Cap Tool Plugs deliver airtight sealing and precise alignment for Volvo D13 and Mack powertrain diagnostics. These OEM-style plugs prevent leaks, contamination, and ensure accurate testing—essential for heavy-duty technicians maintaining fuel and transmission systems.

The Critical Risks of Fuel System Leaks in Volvo & Mack Trucks

Volvo D13 and Mack engines demand precision diagnostics to maintain fuel efficiency and power. Without proper sealing during tests, air intrusion or fluid leaks can skew results, leading to misdiagnosis, component damage, or complete system failure.

• Fuel contamination – Open ports allow debris ingress, clogging injectors and requiring $800–$2,500 cleanouts
• Air intrusion errors – Leaks during pressure tests cause false positives, leading to unnecessary $1,000–$3,000 repairs
• Transmission damage – Fluid loss in housings wears clutches/gears, costing $4,000–$8,000 overhauls
• Diagnostic downtime – Improper sealing extends tests by 1–2 hours, adding $200–$500 in labor losses
• Misalignment failures – Poor guides during assembly warp covers, causing seals to fail ($500–$1,500)
• Compliance issues – Leaky tests void EPA checks, risking $1,000+ fines
