Product Description:
Cummins ISX15/QSX15/X15 Torque Lock Injector Cup Kit
Permanent Solution to Fuel & Coolant Cross-Contamination
The Industrial Injection Torque Lock Injector Cup Kit is the proven solution for one of the most common failures on Cummins ISX15, QSX15, and X15 engines: leaking press-fit injector cups.
If you’re dealing with coolant in fuel on your Cummins ISX15, the root cause is often a loose factory press-fit injector cup. This kit provides a permanent fix by replacing the OEM sleeve with a threaded billet injector cup design.

Why does my Cummins ISX15 have fuel in the coolant?
Fuel in coolant is usually caused by injector cup failure. The factory press-fit design loosens over time, allowing cross-contamination.
How do I fix a leaking injector cup on an ISX?
The best solution is a threaded injector cup kit like Industrial Injection’s Torque Lock design, which permanently seals the bore and prevents leaks.
Does this kit fit the X15?
Yes, this kit covers 2010–2016 ISX15 & QSX15 SOHC engines, as well as 2017–2021 Cummins X15.
