The fuel injection system is composed of the fuel inlet line, the injection rail, the electrical connector and the fuel injector. A pintle cap sits on the bottom of the injector inside the cylinder. Pintle caps can become cracked or deformed and sometimes must be replaced. Replacing the pintle cap on the fuel injector requires the dismantling of the fuel rail system to reach the part.
I am not a mathematician, but $9000 divided by the depth, 275 ft, equals approx $33 per foot, not $100. That includes the cost of the pump, pressure tank, piping to house, wiring to and from house, all labor, and well test/water test. So the per foot cost of drilling is probably closer to $20. $100.00 per foot <br />That estimate seems extremely high, but I'm sure that the actual costs will depend greatly on the local market situation and geology. Here in northern Maine, my well was around $9000.00 complete.
The estimated cost for decommissioning Maine Yankee, an 830-MWe pressurized-water reactor, was $274.9 million in 1997 dollars. This did not include costs for spent fuel management ($53.4 million) or for site restoration ($49.2 million), for a total of $377.6 million.
