If the generator or its regulator refused to work, further driving is still not at risk, since there is a battery.
The diesel engine does not have an ignition system, therefore, if it is started, it can continue to work without electric current. Therefore, theoretically, the duration of the trip is not limited.
But almost everything looks different.
If the battery "sat down", the solenoid switch interrupts the fuel supply to the fuel pump, and the trip is over. Therefore, if a long trip is expected, it is necessary to block, shunt the switch. In any case, it is necessary to save energy consumption, at least so that signaling devices are always ready for operation. Therefore, the following must be taken into account:
Unnecessarily do not interrupt the movement.
The starter and auxiliary glow system consume a lot of electricity. If possible, let the machine roll freely and start the engine in motion.
Do not turn on the heated rear window, fan and radio.
As for the windshield wiper, it is also necessary to save energy as much as possible.
At night, you will have to drive without turning on the high beams and fog lights.
Remove the multi-pin plug from the generator so that the battery cannot be discharged in a short time due to a faulty generator or voltage regulator.
The driver who wants to completely eliminate further malfunctions that may appear in the generator while the car is moving, additionally removes the regulator.
