Safety Section

------ WARNING! ------

At operating temperature, the hydraulic tank is hot and under pressure.

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.

Remove the filler cap only when the engine is stopped, and the filler cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Remove the filler cap slowly in order to relieve pressure.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from escaping fluid under pressure.

Escaping fluid under pressure, even a very small pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak.



NOTICE

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.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


General Information

Introduction

The 464-8510 Fuel Filtration System (PFFS) is a portable unit designed to remove particulates and water from diesel fuel in a single pass. The maximum rated flow for this system is 75 L/min (20 GPM).

The system has a high efficiency filter element for excellent particulate removal and utilizes coalescing media for superior water separation properties. Given the compact size, the unit can easily be transported between different job sites and moved to different locations to service all types and sizes of equipment.

Applications

The Cat Bulk Fuel Filtration System is intended for use in any application where users store fuel for machines or engines. The unit is to be used to filter the fuel being dispensed to the machine or equipment.

Consult your Cat dealer on this and other fuel management best practices.

The system is powered by an onboard 12V DC pump.

Operation Section

Note: Follow all applicable industry standards and all governmental guidelines when installing, operating, and maintaining the bulk fuel filtration system.

Installation



Illustration 6g03823274

The unit comes with a nozzle and appropriate piping for dispensing the fuel at the cart outlet. The user will need to provide piping to connect the fuel source to the inlet valve. The inlet elbow has a size of 2 inches, National Pipe Thread (NPT). This could be reduced to 1.5 inches if necessary. There are some camlock fittings that can be typically used on hoses for quick connect/disconnect.


NOTICE

DC powered pumps are designed to operate on either 12 VDC or 24 VDC (depending on model). Where applicable, use the supplied battery cable to supply power to the pump from a 12 VDC or 24 VDC battery. A 30 amp fuse (20 amp fuse on 24 VDC motors) should be installed on the battery cable (see wiring diagram page 9) to protect the wire in case of electrical short.


Note: The fuse has been installed and is located in the junction box on the motor.



Illustration 7g03823398


NOTICE

Voltage drop in wiring varies depending on the distance from the battery to the pump and the gauge of the wire used. If the distance is greater than 20', refer to national, international, or local electrical codes to ensure that the wire is of the correct size for this application.


Operating Instructions

  1. Connect the battery cables on the cart to the 12 VDC power supply.

  2. Remove dispensing nozzle from the nozzle boot.

  3. Move the switch lever to the "ON" position to power the pump.

  4. Insert the dispensing nozzle into the container to be filled.

  5. During the initial use of the unit, insure that the vent valve on the filter housing is open. When fluid starts to appear, the valve should be closed.

  6. Operate the nozzle to dispense fluid. Release nozzle when the desired amount of fluid has been dispensed.


    Illustration 8g03842046

  7. Move the switch lever to the "OFF" position to turn off the pump.


    Illustration 9g03842043

  8. Remove the dispensing nozzle from the container being filled and store it in the nozzle.

Padlocking

The pump nozzle can be padlocked to the pump for added security. With the pump turned off, and the nozzle in the stored position, a padlock can be inserted through the locking link and the nozzle handle.

The locking link is on the nozzle side of the pump, and can be pivoted into position to work with various nozzles.



Illustration 10g03842056

Note: It is recommended that the vent and drain valves or plug be opened once each day to permit the escape of entrapped air and accumulated water. This should be accomplished while the unit is in operation to insure sufficient pressure to vent and drain.

Water Sight Glass



Illustration 11g03842381

The water sight glass provides an easy means to detect water in the stream. The weighted ball, visible in the sight glass, will float only when water is present. The floating ball is an indication water should be drained from the housing to prevent both cartridge contamination and water downstream of the housing.

Maintenance Section

The filter/coalescer element should be replaced when (1) effluent flow is noticeably reduced, (2) differential pressure across the unit reaches 15 psid (the pressure indicator will be in the red), or (3) when the filter has been in use for the recommended time period. For this unit, it is recommended to replace the filter cartridge once yearly.



Illustration 12g03842463

The pump suction is provided with a screen to protect the pump from internal damage caused by debris. The screen may become clogged with debris causing a low flow condition. If this is suspected, remove the pump adapter to access the screen. Clean the screen and reinstall. This should be the first step in troubleshooting flow reduction.

If any of the above noted that conditions indicate that the filter element replacement is necessary, follow procedures below:

  1. Disconnect power to the unit.

  2. Open the vent valve on the cover of the housing. Allow the unit to thoroughly vent before opening the cover.

  3. Open the drain plug or drain valve on the housing bottom. Allow all fluid to drain from the unit.

  4. Loosen swing bolts, then remove the housing body and element.


    NOTICE

    Due to the toxic effects of some additives used in filtered fluids, care should be exercised in handling the expended cartridge and all internal parts that have been in contact with the filtered products.


  5. Remove and discard the expended cartridge and closure o-ring in a FIRE-SAFE place.

  6. Flush the interior of the housing with clean, processed, filtered product, or a suitable solvent. A nonmetallic bristle brush will help to remove caked on debris. Rinse the housing and unit cover with clean solvent and dry with soft, lint-free wiping cloth

  7. Remove a new filter element from the shipping carton. Closely inspect the element before installing. Slide the new element into the housing.

  8. Install new closure o-ring. Reassemble the body and align swing bolts with cover bolt slots. Tighten the bolts attaching the body to the housing cover. Torque to 10ft/ lbs (~13.6 Nm).

  9. Close the drain plug or valve on the bottom of the housing.

  10. Reconnect the cart to the power source. Slowly open the inlet valve and allow the unit to fill completely. Operate the outlet nozzle as before.

  11. Leave the vent valve on top of the unit open, to allow entrapped air to escape while filling

  12. When a small amount of fluid flows from the vent , close the vent tightly

  13. During initial filling, after above maintenance, and while unit is in operation, examine housing and all connections for leaks.

  14. Repair any leaks and replace damaged or deteriorated parts such as closure o-ring, vent and drain valves, or plug as necessary.

Filter Element Replacement



Illustration 13g03731760

The top flat gasket is only used as a spacer to ensure a positive seal at the bottom o-ring. When assembly difficulty is encountered, this top flat gasket can be removed while still maintaining a positive seal at the bottom o-ring.


NOTICE

Full flow monitors (water absorbing elements) are not for use with fuel containing anti-icing additive (FSII Prist, Diegme). This includes premixed and military fuels containing this additive. use only non-sparking tools when performing any maintenance or service work on this equipment.
