Summary

To diagnose and troubleshoot engine performance problems related to the low-pressure fuel system, a series of simple steps will allow maintenance personnel to check for air in the fuel, flow restrictions, fuel transfer pump efficiency, and pressure. Any problems in the low-pressure supply system can then be isolated, corrected, and the system retested.

The FT-1996 Low-Pressure Tank Kit, test procedure, and troubleshooting flow chart will allow testing of the complete low-pressure fuel supply system without loading the engine or disconnecting any lines or fittings. The test is accomplished with a fabricated test kit which is installed between the secondary fuel filter base and the fuel filter.

During this test, the fuel supply is routed through a separate modified filter base which has fuel pressure and fuel temperature instrumentation, air sight glass, orifice, and fuel bypass valve.

The test kit can also be used during a dynamometer test. The quick disconnect fittings allow easy installation of a fuel flow meter in series with the test kit.


NOTICE

If a fuel meter is used with the test kit, use only a displacement-type meter. Do not use a scale-type meter that first weighs the fuel and then calculates fuel flow.


The engine is operated at rated speed with no load for the low-pressure fuel system test. At rated speed the bypass valve is opened and fuel is rerouted through the orifice back to the fuel tank. The orifice allows a flow of fuel that approximates the amount of fuel the engine uses under full load. The normal fuel return line will also continue to return approximately 34.0 L per hour (8.98 US gal per hour). The combination of the two fuel flows will simulate the low-pressure fuel supply system operation as if under full load conditions. The fuel pressure, fuel temperature, and sight glass can then be observed for proper pressure, temperature, and acceptable air.

On some Caterpillar engines, measuring return fuel flow in an accurate manner may be difficult because of air bubbles in the return fuel. The air bubbles in the fuel cause the turbine flowmeter to read higher fuel flow rates than actual.

Caterpillar recommends installing a 138.00 kPa (20.016 psi) check valve at the outlet of flowmeter that is reading return fuel flow. The check valve will prevent any air bubbles in the return flow from expanding while the fuel is flowing through the flowmeter. The result is a more accurate reading of return fuel flow. Refer to "Installing a Check Valve" for installation requirements.

Standardized Parts Marking Procedure

Reference: SEBF8187Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures".

The code is a Cat standard and is used to record the history of a component. The code will identify the number of rebuilds and hours at the time of each rebuild. This information is important and should be considered for any decision to reuse a component.

Ensure that the mark is not covered by a mating part. Use a metal marking pen to mark the code onto the component.


NOTICE

Do not use numbering stamp punches to mark internal components. The impact from striking the stamp will cause an abnormal stress riser. The added stress riser may cause premature part failure.




Illustration 3g06124077
DO NOT use numbering stamp punches to mark internal components.

The procedure for marking components is a Cat standard. This code is helpful when the machine is sold into a different territory after the first rebuild. During an overhaul, the previous code of a part should never be removed.

Example 1



Illustration 4g03856853
Typical Example

Illustration 4 shows code (1-15). The first number (1) indicates that the gear had been rebuilt once. The second number (15) indicates that there were 15,000 hours on the gear at the time of rebuild.

Example 2



Illustration 5g03856857
Typical Example

Illustration 5 shows code (1-12) and code (2-10). Code (2-10) represents the information from the second rebuild. The first number (2) indicates that the gear had been rebuilt twice. The second number (10) indicates that 10,000 hours accumulated on the gear between the first and second rebuild.

Note: Add the first and second rebuild hours to obtain the total number of hours for the gear in Illustration 5. In this example, the gear has a total of 22,000 hours.

Measurement Requirements


NOTICE

Precise measurements shall be made when the component and measurement equipment are at 20° (68° F). Measurements shall be made after both the component and measurement equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure that both the surface and core of the material is at the same temperature.

Removal and Installation Procedure

If an adjustment is required on a 3208, 3300, or 3400 Series Engine equipped with tamper resistant bolts, the bolts must be removed. Use the procedure that follows to remove the tamper resistant bolts.

  1. Use a 1U-5592 (118 degree) Drill Bit or a 1U-5634 (135 degree split point) Drill Bit to drill a 7/64 inch hole in the center of the bolt to be removed.

  2. Use a 4C-3365 Screw Extractor (5/32 - 7/32 inch), in the hole drilled in Step 1, to remove the bolt.

  3. When installing a new tamper resistant bolt, tighten the bolt until the bolt head shears off approximately 12 ± 3 N·m (8.85072 ± 2.21268 lb ft) for 1/4 inch diameter tamper resistant bolts, or 25 ± 6 N·m (18.43900 ± 4.42536 lb ft) for 5/16 inch diameter tamper resistant bolts.

Adjustment of Fuel Ratio Control Setting

In certain applications the 3408 (99U) and 3412 (60M) Marine Engines may have more than an acceptable amount of black smoke during acceleration. The fuel ratio control setting for each engine is set at the factory to the maximum permissible amount of fuel. The engine information plate contains the performance specifications and the dynamic fuel ratio control setting. Due to variations in driven equipment and the inertia and torque demands to accelerate the entire system, the factory setting may not be appropriate for every application.

The fuel ratio control can be adjusted to a more restrictive setting that will decrease the amount of fuel and black smoke without affecting engine reliability. The procedure for adjusting the fuel ratio control setting is explained in the "Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting" module in the service manual.

A more restrictive fuel ratio control setting will also cause the engine to be less responsive during acceleration. The fuel ratio control should be adjusted to achieve an acceptable balance between engine response and black smoke during acceleration.

New Diaphragm Used in Fuel Ratio Control Groups



Illustration 103g06334785
Location of new 6I-1564 Diaphragm in fuel ratio control group.

A new diaphragm is used in the fuel ratio control groups of 3306, 3306B, 3306C, 3406B, and 3406C Truck Engines. Refer to Illustration 103. The new diaphragm is more resistant to tearing, abrasion, and lube oil absorption and will provide increased service life.

The new 6I-1564 Diaphragm is a direct replacement for the former 7W-0802 Diaphragm in the 4P-2507, 7W-2830, 7W-2831, 7W-2832, and 9Y-8087 Fuel Ratio Control Groups.

New components are used in the fuel ratio control groups of 3306, 3306B, 3306C, 3406B, and 3406C Truck Engines to help prevent both internal and external air leaks. New covers (1) and (2) use O-ring seal (3) to provide improved external sealing. New O-ring seal (5) on extension valve (4) provides improved internal sealing. Refer to Illustration 103.

New gasket (8) is available for use between former covers (6) and (7) on earlier fuel ratio control groups. The new gasket has improved resistance to extrusion which will help prevent external air leaks. Refer to Illustration 105. New O-ring seal (5) can be used in earlier fuel ratio control groups.

New 4P-7274 Cover (1), 4P-7275 Cover (2), and 5P-8210 O-Ring Seal (3), when used together, are direct replacements for the former 1W-2076 Cover (6), 7W-2829 Cover (7), 7N-9033 Gasket in the fuel ratio control groups. The former covers are not canceled. New 3E-6760 O-Ring Seal (5) is a direct replacement for the former 7J-0204 O-Ring Seal on valve extension (4).

(3) Locations where the edges have been smoothed.

The FRC has been improved on 3306, 3306B, 3306C, 3406B, and 3406C Truck Engines to help extend serviceable life of the diaphragm. The edges of the components that contact the diaphragm have been smoothed to help prevent damage to the diaphragm. The new diaphragm seal washer will help reduce leakage. A new lock washer will help prevent loosening of the locknut (refer to Illustration 106).

The new 106-6493 Diaphragm Seal Washer is a direct replacement for the former 7W-1691 Diaphragm Seal Washer. The new 115-3358 Lock Washer is an addition to the group. The FRC improvements are effective with 3306C (9TL4656) Truck Engine and 3406C (8PN1, 3ZJ61100) Truck Engines. The new diaphragm washer and lock nut washer are adaptable to the FRC's on 3306 and 3306B (63Z1-UP), 3306C (7RJ1-UP, 9TL1-UP), 3406B and 3406C (3ZJ1-UP, 5KJ1-UP, 4MG1-UP, 7FB1-UP) Truck Engines

The new FRC air line routing is designed specifically for the Kenworth trucks that use the rear intake port in the 3306 Engine's Cylinder Head. The new routing will eliminate moisture entry into the FRC housing, preventing its components from internal corrosion and future failure.

Refer to Table 8 and Illustration 107 for components used in the new FRC air line routing for Kenworth trucks.

Note: If the dynamic full torque setting cannot be reached, a repair or replacement of the fuel ratio control is needed.

Adjustment of Fuel Ratio Control Setting (Engines without NSFS)

In certain applications 3408 (99U) and 3412 (60M) Marine Engines may have more than an acceptable amount of black smoke during acceleration. The fuel ratio control setting for each engine is set at the factory to the maximum permissible amount of fuel. The engine information plate contains the performance specifications and the dynamic fuel ratio control setting. Due to variations in driven equipment and the inertia and torque demands to accelerate the entire system, the factory setting may not be appropriate for every application.

The fuel ratio control can be adjusted to a more restrictive setting that will decrease the amount of fuel and black smoke without affecting engine reliability. The procedure for adjusting the fuel ratio control setting is explained in the "Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting" module in the Service Manual. This adjustment should be made by a Cat dealer.

A more restrictive fuel ratio control setting will also cause the engine to be less responsive during acceleration. The fuel ratio control should be adjusted to achieve an acceptable balance between engine response and black smoke during acceleration

Bushing

A new bushing is used with the high lift fuel injection pump camshaft and shorter 4P-7681 Pump Plunger and Barrel. The new bushing must not be used on fuel injection pump groups without the high lift camshaft and shorter pump plunger and barrel. Also, the former bushing must not be used on the new fuel injection pump groups with the high lift camshaft.

The new 4P-2899 113-7794 Bushings are in effect, as listed in Table 9. The 4P-2899 113-7794 Bushings should not be used to replace a 7C-6617 Bushing, and a 7C-6617 Bushing should not be used to replace 4P-2899 113-7794 Bushings. Former 7C-6617 Bushing did not have raised area (4) Illustration 29) on the top surface.

Note: For additional information, refer to Service Magazine, 21, September 19922, "New Fuel Injection Pump Groups Have Larger Diameter Camshaft Bores, New Lifter Assembly, And Shorter Plunger And Barrel Assembly" on 3406B and 3406C Engines.".

The 7E-5888 Fuel Injection Pump Housing (used on 1991 engines) is the service replacement for pre 1991 fuel injection pump housings on the 3406 Engines listed in Table 10. The newer 7E-5888 Fuel Injection Pump Housing has a larger diameter camshaft bearing bore than the pre 1991 pump housings. Therefore, thicker bearings are required (to work with the smaller diameter pump camshaft) when using the 1991 pump housing to replace a pre 1991 pump housing.

Use a 7E-5888 Fuel Injection Pump Housing, two 9J-0114 Races, one 7D-1189 Bearing (1), 4P-0984 Front Cam Bearing (2), 4P-0985 Center Cam Bearing (3), and 4P-0986 Rear Cam Bearing (4) replacing fuel injection pump housings on the 3406B Engines identified in Table 10.

Using the correct timing spacer (10) is critical for the fuel injection pump to work efficiently. Use Table 11 and the part numbers and engine serial numbers to make sure that the appropriate timing spacer is used.

Bushing O-ring Seal

An improved 131-3719 O-ring Seal replaces the former 9X-7735 O-ring Seal for the injection pump groups in 3406B (7FB, 7XC, 8TC, 4MG, 5YG, 3ZJ, 5KJ, 2EK, 4CK), and 3406C (3ZJ, 4CK, 8PN) Truck Engines. The improved O-ring seal has a slightly larger outside diameter which creates a better pilot surface on the bushing chamfer during assembly. The chance of cutting the seal is lessened. The improved O-ring seal is identified by its pink color. The former O-ring seal is blue. The 9X-7735 O-ring Seal seal is still available for use in other applications

Pump Housing Seals

New seals with improved heat set resistance in 3406B & C Engines are being used in the fuel injection pump and the fuel injection pump fastener group. After a high number of miles, the former seals could take a permanent set resulting in leaks. The new seals will provide extended service life.

Governor Flyweight Shield No Longer Used in New Scroll Fuel Systems

3406B (7FB) and 3406C Truck Engines that are equipped with governor flyweight shields. Field reports have indicated that the shield can loosen from the flyweight carrier and come into contact with the flyweights and rack control linkages. The purpose of the flyweight shield was to keep any excess oil in the governor housing from splashing against the flyweights. Tests have proven that excess oil does not normally build up in the housing. The flyweight shield was discontinued on production machines, and a field rework program announced.

Many engines have already been reworked. Check the serial number of your engine. If it is in the 7FB1-7FB06809 range, the flyweight shield may not have been removed yet. If you have an engine with an affected serial number and you are not sure if the flyweight shield has been removed, inspect the governor housing and see if the flyweight shield has been removed. If the flyweight shield has not been removed, a convenient time can be scheduled by the dealer to have this done. The rework takes approximately three hours to complete.

Governor Spring Guide

When installing a new governor spring guide in the governor housing, be sure to press the guide to the correct depth.

The improved governor servo components are for 3408 and 3412 Engines with energized-to-run solenoids and are identified in Illustrations 118 and 119, and in Table 10. The improved components are in effect and adaptable to all earlier engines.

The new governor servo components identified in this section are NOT compatible with 3% dashpot governors or 10% Caterpillar governors that have a low idle lug feature, using a 1W-4641 Riser.

Changes in Engine RPM; Governor Does Not Operate Correctly

Reports show that some 3408 Engines (without NSFS) equipped with Hydramechanical Governors have had trouble with surges (changes) in engine rpm. It has been found that the cause of this problem in many applications is low oil pressure in the governor hydraulic servo mechanism. The governor servo will operate at low oil pressure, but its action may not be correct. This is because the low oil pressure cannot move the rack as rapidly as is necessary. The procedure that follows can be used in troubleshooting the cause of the low oil pressure.



    Illustration 120g06322468
    Test location for governor oil pressure and location of orifice.

  1. Check the governor oil pressure at the fuel transfer pump. Refer to Illustration 120. The specification for the governor oil pressure is 620 - 690 kPa (90 - 100 psi) when the engine rpm is between low and high idle. But, a governor oil pressure of 585 - 760 kPa (85 - 110 psi) is acceptable.

  2. Check the engine oil pressure. Acceptable oil pressures are 205 ± 25 kPa (30 ± 4 psi) at 800 rpm and 380 ± 25 kPa (55 ± 4 psi) at 2000 rpm

  3. If low oil pressures are found in Steps 1 or 2, the cause of these must be found and corrected. Some possible causes are:


      Illustration 121g06322470
      Location of bypass valve and governor oil pump.

    1. A restriction in the oil flow, such as a plugged orifice in the fuel transfer pump housing. Refer to Illustration 121. This orifice is a passage for oil into the governor oil pump. The diameter of this orifice must be 1.57 mm (0.06181 inch). If this diameter is too small, the servo mechanism will not get enough oil.

    2. A failure of the governor oil pump.

    3. Bypass valve does not operate. The valve may be held open.

Needle Valve Body



Illustration 122g06322473
Location of the 4N-5485 Valve Body in the fuel injection pump governor group.

The 4N-5485 Valve Body used with 3406C (8PN2906) Truck Engines and can be used to replace the 7W-4182 Valve Body in the former fuel injection pump governor group on all earlier 3406C (8PN) Truck Engines.

Engine testing shows the new needle valve body and a needle valve adjustment will correct low idle surging.

If a new valve body is installed, the 5F-9144 Body Seal and 6H-9691 Needle Valve Seal must also be replaced. Tighten the new valve body to a torque of 6.25 N·m (55 lb in). After the new valve body is installed, turn the needle valve clockwise until it bottoms in the new body, then turn the needle valve counterclockwise 1/2 turn. Additional adjustment may be required if other driveability problems (deceleration/acceleration) are encountered.

With cold engine oil, the 1/2 turn needle valve adjustment may slow rack movement to the "fuel on" position. If the engine does not start on the first try, before attempting to start again, fully depress the throttle pedal for 10 seconds minimum. Then release the throttle pedal and start the engine as described in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

Over Fueling Spring No Longer Used in Governor



Illustration 123g06322476
Location of 7N-7267 Over Fueling Spring

Tests have shown that the 7N-7267 Over Fueling Spring used in the governor on 3406 and 3406C Truck Engines is not required. Refer to Illustration 123. The test also indicates that the over fueling spring can decrease the ability to start in cold weather.

The 7N-7267 Over Fueling Spring is no longer included in the fuel injection pump groups. The change is in effect with Fuel Injection Pump Serial No. 30148.

The 7N-7267 Over Fueling Spring should be removed from earlier fuel injection pump groups used on the above engines if cold weather starting is a problem.

Note: To start an engine when the over fueling spring is removed, the operator should push the accelerator pedal to the floor while cranking, then release the accelerator pedal when the engine begins to run.

Shorter Rack Shutoff Solenoids

The former 2N-2384 (12 volt) and 2N-2385(24 Volt) Rack Shutoff Solenoids were canceled and replaced by 8C-3666 8C-3667 Rack Shutoff Solenoids respectively. The former solenoid bodies were 112.8 mm (4.44094 inch) long and the replacement solenoid bodies are 137.0 mm (5.39369 inch) long. The replacement solenoids are 24.2 mm (0.95275 inch) longer and in some applications that are too long. If the former 2N-2384 2N-2385 Rack Shutoff Solenoids have more than 31.8 mm (1.25197 inch) length clearance with adjacent engine parts, use 8C-3666 8C-3667 Rack Shutoff Solenoids as replacements.

New 102-3505 (12 volt) and 102-3506(24 Volt) Rack Shutoff Solenoids are available. The bodies of these solenoids are 111.0 mm (4.37007 inch) long. If the former 2N-2384 2N-2385 Rack Shutoff Solenoids have less than 31.8 mm (1.25197 inch) length clearance with adjacent engine parts, use 102-3505or 102-3506 Rack Shutoff Solenoids as replacements.

New gaskets are used on the fuel system governors of the 3204 Engines and the 3300 Family of Engines. A new gasket is used under cover (1) for the high idle adjustment screw and cover (3) for the torque rise and fuel setting adjustment screws. A new gasket is also used under the electrical shut-off solenoid. The new gaskets will help prevent leaks. New washers are used under the bolt heads on bolts (2) and (4) that attach covers (1) and (3) to the governor housing. The new washers will help prevent the bolt heads from damaging the covers.

The 6I-2003 Gasket is a direct replacement for the former 8N-3263 Gasket used under high idle cover (1). The 6I-2004 Gasket is a direct replacement for the former 8N-3264 Gasket used under load stop cover (3). The 8N-3263 8N-3264 Gasket are canceled. The new 6I-2002 Gasket is a direct replacement for the 2W-5447 Gasket used under the electrical shut-off solenoid. The 2W-5447 Gasket is not canceled.

A new 5P-0537 Washer is used under the heads of two bolts (2). A new 8T-0328 Washer is used under the heads of two bolts (4).

Governor Control Cover Assembly Includes New Seal and Improved Cover

New Bonnet, Insert, and Fuel Lines Groups (3306 Engines)



Illustration 129g06321911
Location of the new 6I-1327 Bonnet (1) and 7C-9966 Insert (2) in the 4P-9827 Fuel Injection Pump Group.

A new bonnet and insert are used in the 4P-9827 Fuel Injection Pump Group on 3306C (7RJ) Truck Engines. The new bonnet has an internal spherical spring seat and that requires the new insert. Refer to Illustration 129. This change is required for the higher injection pressures to prevent bonnet cracking. This design is also used in some machine engines with 10.50 mm (0.41339 inch) diameter injection pumps.

The 4P-9827 Fuel Injection Pump Group with the new 6I-1327 Bonnet and 7C-9966 Insert can be used as a direct replacement for the earlier 4P-9827 Fuel Injection Pump Group with the 1W-9171 Bonnet. All new parts can replace the former parts. However, if a machine is already equipped with the new parts, former parts cannot be used as replacements. The new bonnet and insert are in effect with fuel injection pump sequence number 341571, and with 3306CTruck Engine 7RJ2695.

After installing a new bonnet, new fuel lines groups are required because the new 6I-1327 Bonnet is approximately 3.0 mm (0.11811 inch) longer than the former 1W-9171 Bonnet. The new 100-5673 100-5674 Fuel Line Groups and are used on engines in Ford Trucks. The new 100-4634 100-4635 Fuel Line Groups are used on other OEM trucks. The new fuel lines can be used with the older bonnets by gently bending the new lines until the nuts can be started without forcing the lines into place. After installation purge the air and tighten the fuel line nuts to 40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb ft). Loosening some of the clamps may be required to service individual lines. Install clamps and tighten them to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

Note: For additional information, refer to Information Release Memo FIL96-8, "Caterpillar High Efficiency Fuel Filters", Form No. PELE0503

A line of Caterpillar high-efficiency fuel filters is available. The use of these high-efficiency fuel filters will help provide maximum life for the fuel system components in Caterpillar commercial engines (except the 3600 Engines). The standard fuel filters will remove particles 15 microns in diameter and larger from the fuel. The high-efficiency fuel filters will remove particles 2 microns in diameter and larger from the fuel. The use of the high-efficiency filters will result in the quicker removal of more debris from the fuel system. This will result in less wear on the tight tolerances of the fuel system components such as fuel injection pumps and fuel injection nozzles.

Use Table 21 to determine which fuel filter should be used

Fuel Cap

A retrofit of the corporate fuel cap to fit the 120.7 mm (4.75196 inch) threaded fuel tank filler neck is now available.

The 7X-7700 Fuel Cap Assembly can be retrofitted and used on 120.7 mm (4.75196 inch) threaded fuel tank filler neck using two adapters. The 125-7873 Adapter and 9X-2207 Adapter Kit are screwed onto the fuel tank filler necks. The 7X-7700 Fuel Cap Assembly is then mounted on the filler neck.

The change is adaptable to all next higher levels of the 4B-1455 Fuel Cap Assemblies, which may be serviced with the 9X-2207 Adapter Kit, 125-7873 Adapter, and 7X-7700 Fuel Cap Assembly.

A filter attachment is now used in some fuel tank groups to filter air entering the tank through the Wiggins fuel service center vent and maintain cleaner fuel during truck operation.

The parts listed in Table 9 are now used in 114-0937 Fuel Tank Group (not serviced) effective with 776D (5ER87) Tractor and 777D (3PR298) Off-Highway Trucks. This change can be made to all previous 776C (2TK1-Up), 776D (5ER1-86) Tractors, 777C (4XJ1-Up) and 777D (3PR297) Off-Highway Trucks.

Both retrofit options require the addition of 2M-6025 Plate which must be welded to the Truck. If the 2M-6025 Plate is not available through parts distribution, a plate can be fabricated using the specifications shown in Illustration 133.

For additional fuel tank venting information, refer to Special Instructions, SEHS9655, "Installation of High-Level Fuel Tank Vent and Modification of Fuel Tank Caps for Challenger Tractors".

Two options are available for retrofitting 114-6352 Fuel Tank Assembly for the new Wiggins fuel service center vent filter attachment. The first option is to replace the existing 114-6352 Fuel Tank Assembly with the newly designed 114-6352 Fuel Tank Assembly with relocated Wiggins fuel service center vent orifice. The second option is to relocate the Wiggins fuel service center vent orifice by cutting a new hole in the existing 114-6352 Fuel Tank Assembly and plugging the existing orifice.

Steel Fuel Pump Lifter

A new steel lifter with a wider, crowned roller follower is available for use in the fuel injection pumps used on the 3400 Vehicular, Industrial, Marine, and Truck Engines. The wider roller spreads the load over the camshaft lobe to reduce stress and lobe wear. Also, the new steel lifter is more durable than the former aluminum lifter.

The 9N-2505 Lifter Assembly has been canceled. For parts service of the 9N-2505 Lifter Assembly, order one of each of the following: 4W-0736 Lifter Assembly, 7N-1066 Washer, and 7N-1208 Spring.

This will give better wear resistance in the areas where the fuel rack comes in contact with the 4N-1572 Cross Link. The basic dimensions for the fuel rack slot and cross link are shown in Illustration 135. The maximum total wear between the fuel rack slot and cross link ball head must not exceed 0.13 mm (0.00512 inch). We also recommend that a new 9S-4160 Bearing be installed when any new fuel rack is installed, as shown in Illustration 136. Use the procedure in the Service Manuals for 3408 Engines.

Numerous improvements have been made to the electronic timing advance components on 3406B (8TC, 2EK) and 3406C (4CK) Truck Engines. The steps that follow provide a way to check the electronic timing advance components to determine if the latest components and improvements are incorporated. Refer to Table 24 to determine which steps apply to a particular engine.

Service Information

Gasket Leakage on Aftermarket Fuel Filters

There have been reports that some aftermarket fuel filters do not seal correctly on the 3400 series engines. The gasket projection on these fuel filters is insufficient for correct sealing. Do not replace the filter base for this problem.

Use only a Caterpillar fuel filter on Caterpillar engines to guarantee correct fuel filter performance.

Service Life of OEM Primary Filters

Some OEM's supply a disposable primary fuel filter for 3406 and 3406B truck engines in place of the Caterpillar primary filter. The mesh of the pleated paper used in these disposable filters is smaller than the screen mesh in the Caterpillar primary filter. As a result, the disposable primary filters have a shorter service life than the Caterpillar primary filter.

The smaller mesh of the disposable primary filter in a like new condition has not been known to cause excessive fuel transfer pump inlet restriction, or any other problem related to the fuel system. If questions arise, the inlet restriction can be checked. Check the restriction where the vehicle fuel supply line is connected to the engine. A new, clean primary filter must be used when checking the restriction. The filter is acceptable if the total inlet restriction is not more than 30.4 kPa (8.98 in mercury).

The frequency and severity of fuel waxing and plugging of the disposable primary filter will be similar for the final filter.

Shutoff Valve in Fuel Return Lines

Some truck manufacturers offer optional shutoff valve(s) in the fuel return line(s) at the fuel tank(s). If shutoff valves are used in the fuel return line circuit, at least one line must always remain open to the tank to allow return flow from all Caterpillar truck engines. The fuel must be allowed to return to the tank to cool the injectors and purge air from the system. If fuel is not allowed to return to the fuel tank, performance problems and/or unit injector damage may result.

In a dual fuel tank system (dual supply and return lines) a selector type valve which always allows return fuel flow to one of the tanks is permissible, provided there is an equalizer line connecting the two tanks. The preferred setting on the selector valve is for the return fuel to go to both tanks.

Fuel Heater Effects on Engine Performance

Only fuel heaters that have thermostats are self-regulated should be used on 3406B and 3406C truck engines with Programmable Electronic Engine Control (PEEC). Either the 7C-3557 Fuel Heater Gp or 7C-3558 Fuel System Parts Kit are recommended. Both heaters offer good protection against cold-weather fuel problems without the risk of overheating the fuel.

The temperature of the inlet fuel to the transfer pump on PEEC engines must not exceed 65.0° C (149.00° F). A higher fuel temperature reduces the life of the electronics and transfer pump check valves. Higher fuel temperature also reduces horsepower output. Fuel heaters that are not automatically controlled can head the fuel above 65.0° C (149.00° F).

The PEEC control module is cooled by fuel. The heat transferred to the fuel is not sufficient to eliminate the need for a heater in cold-weather operation. Fuel was selected to cool the unit because there is always flow during engine operation and fuel has a relatively low temperature. Fuel flows from the tank to the primary filter, through the transfer pump, through cored passages in the electronic control module housings to the secondary filter, and to the injection pumps.

Incorrect Use of Fuel Heaters Can Reduce Engine Power

3208, 3306, 3306B, 3306C, 3406, and 3406C. Truck Engines are designed for effective cold-weather operation, but the effectiveness of engine operation depends on many factors. Under certain conditions, an engine fuel heater may be needed to minimize cold-weather fuel problems such as plugged filters and fittings. If a fuel heater is needed, the 7C-3557 Fuel Heater Gp and 7C-3558 Fuel System Parts Kit are recommended. Both offer good protection against cold-weather fuel problems without the risk of overheating the fuel.

If a fuel heater from another manufacturer is used, some general guidelines should be followed to ensure maximum year-round engine performance. The fuel heater should be installed so the heater heats the fuel before the fuel flows through the primary (first) fuel filter. Select a fuel heater that is mechanically simple and adequate for the application. If a heat exchange type fuel heater is used, the heater should have a bypass provision to prevent overheating the fuel. If possible, disconnect or deactivate the fuel heater during warm-weather operation.

Overheating of fuel can result in a loss of engine horsepower. Fuel becomes less dense when heated, resulting in lower BTU content (heat) for the sale injected volume. Using a standard fuel temperature of 29.0° C (84.20° F) at the secondary fuel filter base, engine horsepower will decrease approximately 1% for every 5.6° C (10.08° F) increase in fuel temperature. An unregulated fuel heater used during warm-weather operation can often raise fuel temperature to more than 79.0° C (174.20° F). A fuel temperature of 79.0° C (174.20° F) could result in a horsepower loss of nearly 9% which would equal 27.0 kW (36.21 hp) for a 298.3 kW (400.00 hp) engine.

Fuel Flow Monitor System

The Caterpillar fuel flow monitor system for all Caterpillar truck engines if a versatile fuel flow measurement system to help evaluate engine performance. Refer to Tool Operating Manual, SEHS8874 for more information.

"Higher than normal fuel pressure" is being reported on the 3204 Engines that power the machines listed in Table 25. A normal fuel pressure for other Caterpillar machines would be 205 to 345 kPa (30 to 50 psi), but the machines in Table 25. A have a higher normal fuel pressure of 410 to 550 kPa (60 to 80 psi) at engine high idle. This higher normal fuel pressure is acceptable on these machines.

Fuel transfer pump connections.
(1) Fuel supply from filter.
(2) Fuel injection pump housing.
(3) 3N-7156 Hose Assembly
(4) Fuel transfer pump.

The machines listed have the fuel filter located on the suction side of the transfer pump. These machines also have a 3N-7156 Hose Assembly between the fuel injection pump and the transfer pump, as shown in Illustration 139.

The suspected "higher than normal fuel pressure" is discovered during routine maintenance or while troubleshooting engine performance problems. Testing has shown that the higher fuel pressure does not cause other fuel system or engine performance problems on the affected machines. If an engine in one of the machines listed in Table 25 is experiencing performance problems, reducing the fuel pressure back to the 205 to 345 kPa (30 to 50 psi) range can actually delay finding the root cause of the performance problem.

Some 3304 Engines with High Fuel Pressures

This change applies to D4H (7PK, 2AC, 9DB, 8PB, 4NK, 9GJ, 3AC, 8ZF, and 8PJ) Tractors with 3304 Engines.

The fuel filter lines group has been changed to remove the steel tube between the fuel transfer pump and the fuel injection pump. A new hose assembly has been added in its place. The reason for this change is to eliminate high fuel transfer pump pressure caused by injection pump spill pulses. This high pressure is seen at high idle conditions and could cause fuel transfer pump damage. The new rubber hose reduces the pressure range to 410 to 550 kPa (60 to 80 psi). This transfer pump pressure is 205 to 345 kPa (30 to 50 psi) higher than other 3304 applications, but is an acceptable range on D4H Tractors.

Fuel Injection Nozzles

New fuel injection nozzles are used to help reduce white exhaust smoke that may occur during a cold engine startup. The new fuel injection nozzles have a lower valve opening pressure 22737 kPa (3297.77448 psi) versus the former 25665 kPa (3722.45160 psi). Testing has shown that a lower valve opening pressure will help reduce white exhaust smoke from a cold engine.

The new 127-9793 Nozzle Assembly is a direct replacement for the former 100-7567 Nozzle Assembly used in 425 hp 3406C (8PN) Truck Engines. The new 127-9792 Nozzle Assembly is a direct replacement for the former 121-4353 Nozzle Assembly used in 350 hp 3406C (8PN) Truck Engines

Internal Seals

Internal seals in 7000 series fuel injection nozzles cannot be replaced. Current parts book and microfiche for 3406B Engines list two internal seals as part of the 7000 Series Fuel Nozzles. As stated in the service manuals, the fuel nozzle should not be disassembled or adjusted. Only the bleed screw seal is serviceable. Do not attempt to replace the internal nozzle seals.

Nozzle Seals

Note: Replacing internal nozzle seals can result in incorrectly assembled fuel nozzles, causing possible engine damage.

Effective with 7000 Series Fuel Injection Nozzles on 3204, 3300, 3406, and 3408 Engines with date code "05A94" and later, is the use of a new seal material in three locations. New seal material has better heat set resistance. Location (1), Illustration 141) is the upper adapter seal. Location (2) is the 114-3364 Bleed Screw Seal. Location (3) is the lower body seal. Only the 1 114-3364 Bleed Screw Seal (2) is serviced.

Added Durability and Performance

Manufacturing and design improvements have been made on the 7W-7038, 7W-7045, 8N-7005, 100-7563, and 100-7564 Nozzle Assemblies. These changes improve the durability and performance and helps prevent cracking.

The improvements are effective on fuel injection nozzle assemblies manufactured on or after February 24, 1997 (nozzle date code of 24B97 or later). These fuel injection nozzle assemblies are used in Caterpillar machines powered by 3304 (07Z3498-Up) and 3306 (08Z97573-Up or 13Z39437-Up) Engines.

Bleed Screw

The bleed screw on 7000 Series Fuel Injection Nozzles used in 3200 Engines uses a line head screw. The bleed screw allows a more consistent torque capability which will result in better sealing. A 1U-5895 Bit, part of 6V-4980 Tool Group, is required to remove and install the new bleed screw.

If a bleed screw is damaged or lost, replace it with an 8C-3234 Screw (line head socket head). The installation torque of the 8C-3234 Screw is 2.2 ± 0.8 N·m (19.47165 ± 7.08060 lb in).

Through-Head-Adapter O-Ring Seals



Illustration 142g06334923
Location of new 132-2072 O-ring Seal (1) and 8L-2779 O-Ring Seal (2) in a typical fuel injection lines group.

New O-ring seals (1) and (2) are used on the "through-head-adapters" (B) and "internal fuel lines" (C) in the fuel injection lines groups on machines powered by 3406 (11N15840-Up) and 3406C (41Z2419-Up) Engines. The new O-ring seals have increased resistance to heat damage.

The new 132-2072 O-ring Seal (1)) is a direct replacement for the former 8M-4437 O-Ring Seal on "through-head-adapters" (B) and the new 8L-2779 O-Ring Seal is a direct replacement for the former 1H-1023 O-Ring Seal on "internal fuel lines" (C) in the fuel injection lines groups on these engines.

The new O-ring seals can be used to replace the former O-ring seals on all earlier 3406 and 3406C Engines in Caterpillar machines

Fuel Line and Adapter Assemblies

The former adapter assembly was held in position in the head with an adapter lock. The adapter lock could wear and loosen, allowing the adapter to move in the head. This could result in wear on the O-ring seal between the adapter assembly and head. A worn O-ring seal could allow oil to leak out of the head at the adapter assembly. The lock is now part of the new adapter assembly so it will not loosen and allow movement of the adapter. This will help prevent O-ring wear which can result in oil leaks. These parts are used in 3406B and 3406C (6TB, 2WB, 4RG, 4TB, 3ZJ, 5KJ, 8PN, 8TC, 2EK, and 4CK) Engines.

The new fuel line assemblies are stronger than the former fuel line assemblies and will provide increased service life.

Each new adapter assembly includes a new 4P-1393 Adapter Assembly (not serviced separately) and O-ring seal. The new 4P-1393 Adapter Assembly is in effect as shown in Table 28. The former adapter assembly and adapter lock are not canceled.

Note: If a former adapter assembly and adapter lock are replaced with a new adapter assembly, the former fuel line assembly must be replaced with a new fuel line assembly. A new fuel line assembly can be used with a former adapter assembly, but a former fuel line assembly should NOT be used with a new adapter assembly.

The new 4P-9661 through 4P-9666 Line Assemblies are direct replacements for the former line assemblies which are canceled. The new line assemblies are in effect as shown in Table 28.

New Dynamic Fuel Ratio Control Settings Provide Improved Engine Response

Table 33
Dynamic Fuel Ratio Control Settings 
Engine Serial Number  Dynamic Rack  Static Level  FRC Part Number 
7RJ1-2750  -3.2  -1.9  4P-2507 
7RJ2751-Up  -2.8  -1.5  4P-2507 
9TL1-3439  -2.26  -2.56  107-5580 
9TL3440-Up  -2.1  -2.4  119-3843 

The dynamic Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) setting on 3306C (7RJ, 9TL) Truck Engines can be reset if low power or poor response from the engine has occurred. Table 33 and the procedure are used to check the dynamic Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) and, if necessary, to reset the FRC setting.

Use the following procedure for checking the dynamic FRC setting.

  1. Remove the Fuel Ratio Control (FRC).

  2. Install an 8T-3100 Position Indicator or rack gauge.

  3. Energize the shutdown solenoid (or remove it).

  4. Zero the rack reading.

  5. Install the FRC and the shutdown solenoid (if it was removed).

  6. Do not connect the boost line to the FRC.

  7. Accelerate the engine to the "Full Throttle" position and record the dynamic rack reading.

  8. If the rack reading is not within specifications, adjust the screw on the end of the FRC stem.

  9. Connect the boost line to the FRC.

Snap Idle Test

  1. From low idle, rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the measurement on the dial indicator. Read the indicator carefully because this reading will be at a maximum reading for only a moment. Make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading. If full measurement is not reached, increase the air pressure to make sure that there is full fuel ratio control movement.

    Note: The fuel ratio is activated and the maximum dial indicator reading is the dynamic full torque setting of the engine. This setting is 0.5 mm (0.01969 inch) greater than the static full torque setting given on the Engine Information Plate of later engines or in the Fuel Setting and Related Information Fiche.

    Note: On engines where the fuel ratio control is out of adjustment, the fuel ratio control can activate shortly after engine startup. Currently the dial indicator reading can be the dynamic fuel ratio control setting. Continue the checking procedure to find the dynamic full torque setting at Step 5.

  2. Release all air pressure from the fuel ratio control. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the measurement on the dial indicator. Read the dial indicator carefully because this reading will be at a maximum reading for only a moment. Make a record of this dial indicator reading. This is the dynamic fuel ratio control setting for the engine.

  3. If the dynamic fuel ratio setting is within 0.25 mm (0.00984 inch) of the specifications on the Engine Information Plate or in the Fuel Setting and Related Information Fiche, an adjustment is not necessary.

  4. For adjustment of the control, refer to the Fuel Ratio Control Adjustment, following this procedure.

  5. Check boost pressure that gives full torque rack travel, as follows:

    1. Connect a pressure gauge, a pressure regulator, and an air supply to the fitting from which the air line was removed.

    2. Apply 25 kPa (3.62600 psi) air pressure to the fuel ratio control.

    3. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading.

    4. Repeat this procedure several times, each time increase the air pressure 5 kPa (0.72520 psi).

    5. Make a record of the first air pressure setting that gives full torque rack travel. Full torque rack travel was measured in Step 1.

  1. Refer to the Engine Information Plate or the Fuel Setting and Related Information Fiche for the correct dynamic fuel ratio control setting specification before an adjustment is made.

  2. Install and zero the rack position indicator group. Refer to Fuel Ratio Control and Governor Check for this procedure.

  3. Remove the cover from the fuel ratio control valve

  4. Loosen nut (4) and turn stop (3) in (clockwise) until the stop makes contact with the shoulder on retainer (2). Now turn the stop out (counterclockwise) two complete turns and tighten nut (4).

  5. Start the engine and operate it for a minimum of five minutes to get the governor and engine up to normal operating temperature.

  6. Activate the fuel ratio control by pushing in on valve extension (5).

  7. Hold retainer in position and loosen nut (1). This keeps the fuel ratio diaphragm from turning when nut (1) is loosened or tightened.

  8. Turn valve extension (5) to get the correct setting. A clockwise direction will give a more positive setting. The counterclockwise direction will give a more negative setting. Several adjustments of valve extension (5) may be needed to get the correct dynamic fuel ratio control setting.

  9. After each adjustment is made, check the dynamic fuel ratio control setting. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the measurement on the dial indicator. Read the dial indicator carefully because this reading will be at a maximum reading for only a moment. Make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading.

    Note: If the correct dynamic fuel ratio control setting cannot be made with this adjustment, the internal governor linkage must be checked and adjusted or the fuel ratio control needs repair or replacement. Refer to Check and Adjustment of the Fuel Ratio Control Linkage, in the Service Manual, for the governor linkage procedure.

  10. After the correct adjustment has been made, tighten nut (1). Check the dynamic fuel ratio control setting again.

  11. Install the gasket and cover on the fuel ratio control. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 9 ± 3 N·m (6.63804 ± 2.21268 lb ft).

  12. Apply 70 kPa (10.15280 psi) air pressure to the fuel ratio control at the fitting. This will fully extend the fuel ratio control to get dynamic full torque.

  13. Check the dynamic full torque setting. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the maximum measurement on the dial indicator

Install a Replacement Fuel Injection Pump

  1. Rotate the fuel pump camshaft so the replacement fuel injection pump will be installed on the base circle, not on the lobe of the fuel pump camshaft.

  2. Remove or activate the shutoff solenoid.

    Note: To check the installation of a replacement pump, it is necessary to have full rack travel in both directions. Use the following steps (as needed) to position the pump and have full rack travel in both directions. The actual zero location of the timing pin and rack is not used to check the installation of replacement pumps.



    Illustration 154g06322312
    Fuel rack and timing pin.

  3. Remove the cover (rack position indicator) and plug (rack centering pin) and install the 6V-4186 Timing Pin as shown in Illustration 154.

  4. Raise the timing pin and move the rack to the full load position. Use finger pressure to be sure that the rack is at full rack travel (beyond full load position).


    Illustration 155g06322313
    Correct installation in full load position.

  5. If the fuel injection pump installation is correct, when the timing pin is lowered it will be on the rack as shown in Illustration 155.

    Incorrect installation, full load position restricted by less than full rack travel.
    (A) 1.91 mm (0.07520 inch) per tooth

  6. If the fuel injection pump installation is NOT correct, the timing pin position will be approximately 1.91 mm (0.07520 inch) toward the slot for each tooth position out of alignment (refer to Illustration 156). This will reduce fuel rack travel, even though it may not affect the rack setting, because of additional rack travel at static conditions.

  7. Raise the timing pin and move the rack to the no load (fuel off) position.


    Illustration 157g06322313
    Correct installation at no load (fuel off) position.

  8. If the fuel injection pump installation is correct, when the timing pin is lowered it will be in the timing slot, less than 1.91 mm (0.07520 inch) from the rear face of the slot as shown in Illustration 156.


    Illustration 158g06322317
    Incorrect installation, full shutoff position restricted by less than full rack travel.

  9. If the fuel injection pump installation is NOT correct, the timing pin position will be more that 1.91 mm (0.07520 inch) from the rear face of the timing slot in the rack (refer to Illustration 156.

  10. When all fuel injection replacement pumps are installed correctly, complete the assembly and adjustments using the Service Manual.


NOTICE

If one or more of the fuel injection pumps have been installed wrong, it is possible for the engine to run out of control when started. When any of the fuel injection pumps have been removed and installed with the fuel injection pump housing on the engine, take the precautions (steps) given in the Service Manual to stop the engine if it starts to overspeed (run out of control).


Fuel Pump Bonnet Retaining Bushings



Illustration 159g06322329
Retaining bushing (1). Do not use heavy lubricant.

When installing fuel pump bonnet retaining bushings on all Caterpillar engines, do not lubricate threads with anti-seize compound or grease. Published tightening torque specifications for bushings on Caterpillar fuel pumps have been established for threads lubricated with diesel fuel or light oil only. Use of anti-seize compound increases tightening forces and may damage the housing.

Chemical Cleaning Process for Bonnet and Barrel Sealing Faces

  1. Obtain a container of 1U-9698 Descaleant

  2. Provide a clean work area.

    Note: Do not mix plungers and barrels. The original plungers must remain with the same barrels.

  3. Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the sealing faces of the barrel and bonnet as clean as possible.

  4. Plug the barrel and bonnet bores with a non-damaging material. A 7000 Series nozzle tip cap will fit in the bores.

  5. Use the 1U-9698 Descaleant and a cotton swab to scrub the stained sealing surfaces of the bonnet and barrel.

  6. Let the descaleant remain on the sealing surfaces for between two minutes (minimum) and five minutes (maximum)

  7. Use a cotton swab to repeat the scrubbing action. Then flush the sealing surfaces with clean diesel fuel.

  8. Assemble the fuel injection pump groups using the original plungers.

  9. Visually inspect the timing spacers and bushings.

  10. Install the fuel injection pump groups into a clean fuel injection pump housing. Reuse the timing spacers and bushings. Use new seals. Lubricate the new seals with clean diesel fuel.

  11. If the new bushings are NOT required, tighten the bushings to 300 N·m (220 lb ft). If a new bushing is used:

    1. Tighten the bushing to 300 N·m (220 lb ft).

    2. Loosen the bushing 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

    3. Tighten the bushing to 300 N·m (220 lb ft).

      Note: The bushing tightening torque of 300 N·m (220 lb ft) is used for plungers and barrels with face fretting ONLY. Use the standard bushing tightening torque of 260 N·m (190 lb ft) in all other cases.

      Check the rack for free movement after reach bushing is tightened.

Remove Sharp Edges from Fuel Racks (Engines without NSFS)

There have been reports that some of the fuel racks on 3408 and 3412 Engines may have sharp edges on the teeth. These sharp edges can cause wear on the fuel injection pump gears.



Illustration 160g06322265
Fiber brush a radius at these locations on the racks that have a flat root surface.

  • (1) Round root surface

  • (2) Flat root surface

  • (3) Fiber brush a radius at these locations

The racks used on these engines have two different designs. Only the racks with the flat root surfaces might have sharp edges on the teeth. The other racks have a round root surface. Refer to Illustration 160.

To remove the sharp edges from the fuel racks, use an abrasive fiber grinding wheel (brush) on a bench grinder.

Put a 0.03 - 0.15 mm (0.00118 - 0.00591 inch) radius on each tooth.


NOTICE

The rack may become hot when the radius is made on each tooth. Do not use water to lower the temperature of the rack.


Make sure all the abrasive material is removed and the rack is clean before it is installed in the pump housing.

Fuel Transfer Pump Leak Test Procedure

This test must be performed with the fuel and the fuel transfer pump at a temperature between 18° - 29° C (64° - 84° F). Check the fuel transfer pump for excessive leakage as follows:



Illustration 161g06333679
Location to check fuel transfer pump leakage.

  1. Fill the pump with fuel, and plug the outlet port.

  2. Connect a regulated air supply and a shutoff valve to the inlet port of the pump. Set the regulator to 520 ñ 35 kPa (75 ñ 5 psi). Do not open the shutoff valve at this time.

  3. Mount the pump in a vise with the tappet about 3 to 5 degrees below horizontal. Refer to Illustration 161.

  4. Wipe off the pump and turn the air supply ON. Make sure that there are no leaks except from between the guide and tappet.

  5. Wipe off the face of the guide again. Let a few drops of fuel fall off the guide before starting the count.

  6. Count the number of drops of fuel that fall off the guide in one minute. The pump is good if six or less drops fall per minute.

Field reports indicate that the fuel transfer pump relief valve may be opening at a lower than specified pressure. The fuel transfer pump relief valve should open and bypass fuel to keep the fuel pressure at the outlet of the fuel transfer pump at 230 ± 35 kPa (33 ± 5 psi) at full rated load. Possible indication of low fuel transfer pump outlet pressure is hard starting and low power.

If low fuel transfer pump outlet pressure is suspected, install a gauge to measure the fuel pressure. To increase the pressure, 4B-4863 Washer (2) can be installed between 7S-4440 Bolt (1) and 6N-1069 Spring (3). Refer to Illustration 164. Measure the fuel pressure at the outlet of the fuel transfer pump at full rated load each time a washer is installed. Install 4B-4863 Washers until a pressure of 230 ± 35 kPa (33 ± 5 psi) is obtained.

A 4N-7465 Gasket is required between 7S-4440 Bolt (1) and the fuel transfer pump housing. Tighten bolt (1) to a torque of 37 ± 4 N·m (27 ± 3 lb ft).

This test must be performed with the fuel injection pump housing and the fuel at a temperature between 18° - 29° C (64° - 85° F). Test and inspect the fuel injection pump housing, as follows:

  1. Disconnect the fuel injection lines and the fuel return line from the pump. Cap all the bonnets and the return line fitting, to prevent leakage when pressure is applied. Fuel injection lines can be modified to cap the bonnets.

  2. Disconnect the fuel supply lines, and make sure that the pump housing is full of fuel. Connect a pressure gauge and shutoff valve to the supply fitting, as shown in Illustration 20. Connect an air supply to the shutoff valve. Make sure the caps, connections, shutoff valves, and the gauge do not leak.

  3. Apply 480 kPa (70 psi) air pressure to the pump housing. Close the shutoff valve.

  4. Observe the pressure loss over a period of five minutes. A pump is good if the pressure loss in five minutes is 35 kPa (5 psi) or less.

  5. If the pressure loss exceeds 35 kPa (5 psi) in five minutes, remove each of the injection pumps one at a time. Inspect the seal surfaces of the barrel, timing spacer, and housing, as shown in Illustration 166. Check the surface finish of these parts. Make sure that none of these surfaces have any dirt, debris, nicks, cracks, or scratches on them.

  6. Install all the injection pumps in the pump housing. Test the pump housing again for pressure loss.

High Idle RPM

The high idle rpm of an engine is not an adjusted specification. It is the result of three factors:

  1. Engine set point rpm (which is adjusted with the high idle screw).

  2. The differences of governor springs and weights.

  3. Parasitic (accessory) loads on the engine (fan, alternator, compressors, pumps, BrakeSaver, etc.).

The high idle rpm is shown on the engine information plate or listed in the fuel setting charts. The engine information plate must be used for all measurements if it is available

Full Load RPM

Full load rpm is the point at which the engine will develop the rated horsepower. If the engine is equipped with a torque spring, this may or may not be the rpm at which the engine develops maximum horsepower.

Set Point

The engine set point is an adjusted specification and must be maintained. High idle rpm is not an adjusted specification. Set point (formerly balance point) is full load rpm plus an additional 20 rpm. Set point is the rpm at which the fuel rack just starts to make contact with the stop bar or the first torque spring. The rack at this rpm still moves back and forth a small amount. When additional load is put on the engine, the rack will advance and become stable against the torque spring or stop bar. Set point is controlled by the fuel setting in the high idle adjustment screw. Measurements have shown that the former balance point was not a point, but a general area.

The governor springs and weights control the rpm of the engine. Because of the normal production variations in springs and weights of the same part numbers, it is possible to have engines with the same set point but with a different high idle rpm. This is why set point must be adjusted and not high idle rpm.

The parasitic loads on an engine will also cause a change in the measured high idle rpm. These loads will decrease the high idle rpm according to the amount of power used by them. Normally, the parasitic loads on an engine will cause the measured high idle rpm to be 15 to 20 rpm less than the original bare engine high idle rpm with no parasitic loads. The decrease in the high idle rpm caused by the parasitic loads does not change the set point of the engine.

Because set point, governor springs and weights, and parasitic loads all have an effect on the measured high idle rpm on an engine, it is not possible to accurately adjust the governor by only measuring the high idle. The correct way to adjust the governor is to apply a load and use a 6V-2100 Digital Tachometer with either the 6V-4060 Indicator or a continuity light. The 6V-4060 Indicator is the more accurate tool for adjusting the governor and is recommended by Caterpillar. Also, another possible method is to check the engine on a correctly calibrated dynamometer. SEHS7931 Special Instruction, has information for the use of the 6V-4060 Indicator.

Note: An engine set point which is not adjusted correctly, can greatly affect the fuel consumption and the actual performance for that engine.

The performance of the governor can be checked by a measurement of the engine high idle rpm. Make sure that an accurate tachometer is used to check the rpm. If the high idle rpm of a bare engine is within the tolerance shown in the fuel setting charts and its set point is correct, it is an indication that the governor spring and weights are correct and in good condition. No adjustment is necessary. If the engine has parasitic loads on it, 15 to 20 rpm must be added to the measured rpm to allow for their horsepower usage before a comparison is made between it and the high idle rpm specification. If the measured high idle rpm is not within the tolerances of the specification, test the engine with a full rated load applied to see if the set point is correct, before an adjustment is made.

If the set point is correct and the high idle rpm is within the specification, no adjustment is necessary. If the set point is not correct, the high idle screw must be adjusted to get the correct set point rpm. If the measured high idle rpm plus the parasitic rpm allowance of 15 to 20 rpm is higher than the specification, but the set point rpm is correct, then the governor spring and weights can be checked. If the measured high idle rpm plus the parasitic rpm allowance is lower than the specification, but the set point rpm is correct, then the amount of the parasitic loads must be checked before the governor spring and weights are checked.

Remember that the measured high idle rpm of an engine is only a result of the set point rpm. After the set point rpm has been adjusted, the high idle rpm of the engine is controlled by the governor spring and weights and the parasitic loads on the engine.



Illustration 167g06332003


Illustration 168g06332004
Effect of a parasitic load on an engine and how the measured engine high idle rpm is lowered from Point B to Point P. A difference of approximately 15 to 20 rpm.

Note: If an adjustment is made to change high idle rpm of an engine with parasitic loads (Point P) to the bare engine specification (Point H), the set point will not be correct. An adjustment too high idle rpm will affect the set point.



Illustration 169g06332005
Parasitic loads lower the overall tolerance range. The rpm range between Points B1 and B2 is approximately 15 to 20 rpm higher than P1 to P2.

The illustrations which follow show a typical engine power curve. The letters on the curve have these meanings:

Point R is the engine rated full load rpm.

Point S is the engine set point (Point R plus 20 rpm).

Point B is the bare engine high idle rpm specification.

Points B1 and B2 are the acceptable tolerance range of Point B.

Point H is a typical engine high idle rpm measurement.

Point P is the parasitic engine high idle rpm with a parasitic load.

Point P1 and P2 are the range of Point P.

When a governor spring and weight assembly has been put in an engine, that one engine will have a straight line of governor operation. This is shown in Illustration 33 by the line from Point B to Point S. The range in high idle rpm from B1 to B2 would be acceptable for many engines with the same set point. These engines will also each have a straight line of governor operation that starts somewhere at or between Points B1 and B2 and goes to Point S. The difference in the slope between lines BS, B1S and B2S is due to the tolerance range for governor springs and weights of the same part number.

Stop Bolt Adjustment Procedure



Illustration 170g06332011
Location of electrical shut-off group components.

Perform this procedure after installing stop bolt (2) and cover (5), but before installing solenoid assembly (1).

  1. Using the manual shut-off lever, rotate the manual shut-off shaft as far as it will go in the shut-off direction. Hold the shaft in that position.

  2. Turn in stop bolt (2) inward until the large end contacts the end of the internal shut-off lever.

  3. Turn the stop bolt inward an additional 3/4 ± 1/4 turn. Tighten lock nut (3) and install seal wire (4) and seal.

3408 and 3412 Flex Drive Governor Visual Inspection Procedure (Engines without NSFS)

This section will identify some governor components to check, if there are reports of engine surging during machine operation. These checks are for:

  • worn components

  • tight fitting components

  • tight fitting components

These checks are intended to help with field service and engine performance troubleshooting.

Location of area of missing tooth (B) on governor drive ring (3).

Make sure the notch in the top of pinion (6) is in alignment with area of missing tooth (B, Illustration 41) in governor drive ring (3). The intent of aligning the notch in the top of pinion (6) with the missing tooth (A, Illustration 172) in the governor drive ring is to provide equal leaf spring travel in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction when the governor drive assembly is installed into pinion (6) and over governor drive gear dowels (5). If travel from the free state is more in one direction than the other, assemble the ring onto the pinion one tooth off the alignment mark to correct the assembly travel. This will provide maximum flex drive travel in both directions.

Rack and Fuel Ratio Control Linkage Adjustment

The new 6V-6070 Governor Adjusting Tool Group has the tools that are needed to check and adjust the rack and the fuel ratio control linkage on all engines with New Scroll Fuel Systems (NSFS). This new tool group is a replacement for the former 6V-4095 and 6V-4096 Groups which are canceled. All the tools in the former groups except for the 6V-2128 Compressor are still serviced. The 6V-2128 Compressor is canceled.

Two of the new tools in the 6V-6070 Governor Adjusting Tool Group are the 6V-7941 Overfueling Spring Compressor and 6V-7942 Hook. The new 6V-7941 Overfueling Spring Compressor has enough movement so it can be used on 3204, 3304, 3306, and 3406 Engines with NSFS.

The 6V-7942 Hook is used to pull the rack against the rack centering pin on engines with negative rack settings. This is because on some of these engines the overfueling spring may not move the rack against the centering pin.

A new procedure is now used to check and adjust the rack on these engines. Special Instruction, SEHS8024, has complete information for the use of the new tools.

(1) This part may be required when replacing the 8N-2501 Governor Housing Assembly.

When replacing the 8N-2501 Governor Housing Assembly in 3300 Engines with Scroll Fuel Systems, it is possible to have an interference between components within the governor or the rack may not move all the way to the "Fuel Off" position. These conditions may exist because of casting shifts during the manufacturing process of the governor housing.

To ensure that the governor will function properly, it is necessary to check the assembled dimension for rack lever travel and possibly replace the original 8N-3087 Stop and 2W-9305 Plate. Follow the procedure in this instruction to perform this check.



Illustration 176g06332188

  1. Assemble the components of the governor group using a new 8N-2501 Governor Housing Assembly and the original 8N-3087 Stop and 2W-9305 Plate. Refer to the Service Manual for the assembly procedure

  2. Measure the distance between the face of the governor housing assembly and rack lever dimension (A). This dimension should be 18.6 ± 1.0 mm (0.73228 ± 0.03937 inch).

  3. If dimension (A) is within the specified limit of 17.6 to 19.6 mm (0.69291 to 0.77165 inch), install the governor assembly.

    1. If dimension (A) measured in Step 2, is greater than 19.6 mm (0.77165 inch), proceed to Step 4.

    2. If dimension (A) measured in Step 2, is less than 17.6 mm (0.69291 inch), proceed to Step 6.
