Doosan L126TI Marine Engine Injectors: Part Numbers & Maintenance Guide
If you are working with a Doosan L126TI marine engine, the fuel injectors are components that deserve attention. A small problem with one nozzle can affect starting, combustion, smoke and overall engine performance.
The L126TI is a six-cylinder, inline, four-stroke, direct-injection marine diesel engine. Because there is one injector/nozzle assembly for each cylinder, a complete engine uses six injector/nozzle assemblies.
But when ordering replacement parts, there is one thing to remember: don't identify the injector from the engine model alone. Always check the engine identification information and the number on the component you are replacing.
What Is the Doosan L126TI?
The L126TI is a Doosan marine diesel engine designed for marine propulsion applications.
The L126TIH and L126TIM versions are:
- Inline 6-cylinder
- Four-stroke
- Direct injection
- Water cooled
- Turbocharged
- Intercooled
- Approximately 11 litres displacement
The L126TIH is rated at 360 PS (265 kW) at 2,000 rpm, while the L126TIM is rated at 400 PS (294 kW) at 2,100 rpm.
Although the engine has six cylinders, it is important to remember that the exact fuel-system components should still be checked against the particular engine specification.
How Many Injectors Does a Doosan L126TI Have?
This part is simple:
6 cylinders = 6 injector/nozzle assemblies.
Each cylinder has its own injector/nozzle assembly.
So if you are replacing all the complete assemblies on an L126TI, the quantity would normally be:
6 × Nozzle & Holder Assembly
If you are replacing only the nozzles:
6 × Injection Nozzle
Doosan L126TI Injector Part Numbers
The following are the important references to know when looking for L126TI injection components.
105030-4711 / 1050304711
Nozzle & Holder Assembly
This is the documented engine-standard nozzle and holder assembly reference for the L126TI injection system.
The number may be written with or without the hyphen:
105030-4711
or
1050304711
If you are searching for the part online, checking both formats can be useful.
105101-7961 / 1051017961
Injection Nozzle
This is the documented injection-nozzle reference for the L126TI.
It may also appear as:
105101-7961
or:
1051017961
The documented nozzle is a five-hole type.
L126TI Injector Quantity
| ComponentPart NumberWithout HyphenQuantity | |||
| Nozzle & Holder Assembly | 105030-4711 | 1050304711 | 6 |
| Injection Nozzle | 105101-7961 | 1051017961 | 6 |
So, for a complete set of nozzle-and-holder assemblies:
6 × 105030-4711
For six replacement nozzles:
6 × 105101-7961
Before ordering, always confirm the application against the engine identification information.
What About Part Number 105780-8140?
This is where injector identification can become confusing.
You may come across:
105780-8140 / 1057808140
in L126TI injection-system documentation.
However, this reference is associated with a nozzle-and-holder assembly used for injection-pump testing/calibration.
Therefore, it should not simply be advertised as the standard L126TI engine injector.
For normal engine injector identification, the important references are:
105030-4711 — Nozzle & Holder Assembly
105101-7961 — Injection Nozzle
This distinction is important when preparing a quotation or ordering replacement parts.
What Does the L126TI Injector Do?
The injector has a very important job.
It delivers diesel fuel into the combustion chamber and helps produce the correct fuel spray for combustion.
When the nozzle is in good condition, the fuel is properly atomized.
When the nozzle becomes worn, dirty or damaged, combustion can be affected.
You may notice:
- Difficult starting
- Rough engine operation
- Uneven running
- Increased smoke
- Higher fuel consumption
- Loss of performance
- Abnormal exhaust temperatures
However, these symptoms do not automatically mean the injector is faulty.
A fuel-system problem can also involve the injection pump, fuel supply, compression or other engine components.
Why Should L126TI Injectors Be Tested?
Replacing all six injectors without testing them first is not always the best approach.
If the engine develops a fuel-related problem, the injectors should be checked using the appropriate test procedure.
Depending on the applicable service information, inspection can include:
- Opening pressure
- Spray pattern
- Fuel leakage
- Nozzle condition
- Atomization
- Holder condition
If one injector behaves differently from the others, that can help identify which cylinder needs further investigation.
What Is the L126TI Injector Opening Pressure?
The documented L126TI marine specification gives the nozzle opening pressures as:
First stage: 160 kg/cm²
Second stage: 220 kg/cm²
These figures are useful when an injector is being tested and adjusted according to the applicable service procedure.
The important point is that an injector should be tested against the correct specification rather than judged simply by looking at the nozzle.
How Long Do L126TI Injectors Last?
There isn't one operating-hour figure that can be used to say exactly when every L126TI injector needs replacement.
Injector life depends on the conditions in which the engine operates.
Factors include:
- Fuel quality
- Operating hours
- Engine load
- Fuel contamination
- Maintenance
- Nozzle wear
- Condition of the injection system
A well-maintained engine operating with clean fuel can have a very different injector service life from an engine operating continuously under heavy load with contaminated fuel.
For that reason, condition and testing are more useful than relying only on engine hours.
What Causes L126TI Injector Problems?
Several things can affect injector performance.
Dirty fuel
Contaminated fuel can damage or restrict the nozzle.
Nozzle wear
After long operation, the nozzle can wear and the spray pattern can change.
Poor maintenance
Incorrect fuel-filter maintenance can allow contaminants into the injection system.
Injection-pump problems
An injector may appear to be the problem when the actual fault is elsewhere in the fuel system.
Incorrect installation
Using the wrong component or installing it incorrectly can create additional problems.
Should You Replace One Injector or All Six?
That depends on the test results and the reason for the failure.
If one injector is defective and the other five are operating correctly, replacing one may be appropriate.
However, if the engine has high operating hours and several injectors show wear, replacing or rebuilding the complete set may make more sense.
The decision should be based on testing, engine condition and the applicable service recommendations, rather than simply replacing parts because the engine has reached a certain number of hours.
How to Order the Correct Doosan L126TI Injector
This is probably the most important part if you are buying the component.
Don't send only:
"I need a Doosan L126TI injector."
Instead, provide:
Engine model: L126TI
Engine version: L126TIH or L126TIM, if known
Engine serial number: Required for identification
Existing part number: If available
Quantity: 1 or complete set
Delivery destination: Required for quotation
A photograph of the engine identification plate and existing injector can also be very helpful.

The application should still be confirmed before ordering.
What is 105780-8140?
105780-8140 / 1057808140 is associated with a nozzle-and-holder assembly used for injection-pump testing/calibration. It should not automatically be described as the standard engine injector.
What is the L126TI injector opening pressure?
The documented specification gives 160 kg/cm² first stage and 220 kg/cm² second stage.
Should all six injectors be replaced together?
Not necessarily. Testing should determine their condition. Depending on wear and engine history, replacing one injector or the complete set may be appropriate.
Final Thoughts
The Doosan L126TI is a six-cylinder marine diesel engine, which means the basic injector quantity is easy to understand:
6 cylinders = 6 injector/nozzle assemblies.
The two key references for the engine-standard injection components are:
105030-4711 / 1050304711 — Nozzle & Holder Assembly
105101-7961 / 1051017961 — Injection Nozzle
But don't stop at the part number.
Before ordering, verify the engine model, engine version, serial number and existing component number. This helps avoid supplying a component that looks correct but belongs to a different configuration.
