Rework Procedure

Caterpillar Inc.

Identification #(s)

Attached to 26Feb2009 Service Letter

 

NOTE: Ensure that all adjustments and repairs that are carried out to the fuel system are performed by authorized personnel that have the correct training. Before beginning ANY work on the fuel system, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "General Hazard Information and High Pressure Fuel Lines" for safety information. Refer to System Operation, Testing and Adjusting, "Cleanliness of Fuel System Components" for detailed information on the standards of cleanliness that must be observed during ALL work on the fuel system.

NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Important Notes: Common rail fuel technology requires a high degree of cleanliness. It is therefore imperative to adhere to all cleanliness requirements within this rework instruction, for example re-using dirty caps will have a detrimental effect on product durability. Parts must be inspected prior to use to ensure capping is intact and parts are clean and undamaged. All new components should remain bagged and capped until immediately before use.

Any fuel system components that are removed or exposed should be capped with new, clean caps to prevent dirt ingress, e.g. male connector when low-pressure pipe is removed. Use anti contamination kit part no. 278-4138.

Before attempting any work on the fuel system ensure that the engine is cleaned of any dirt that might contaminate the fuel system. Clean up any spilt fuel before undertaking further work. Check there is adequate clearance around all low-pressure pipes, and that any clamps are in place and correctly orientated.

NO attempt should be made to clean / flush filter elements for re-use. DO NOT PRE-FILL THE FILTERS.

Fuel can be hot after running. Care must be taken to ensure hot fuel does not come in contact with exposed skin. Allow engine to cool before undertaking any work.
