Use Tooling (A) in order to check the engine's fuel pressures.
Note: It may be necessary to use Tooling (B) and (C) in order to adapt to the correct fitting size.
Fuel leaked or spilled onto hot surfaces or electrical components can
cause a fire. Clean up fuel spills immediately.
NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.
Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

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, "Caterpillar Dealer Service
Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Low Fuel Pressure
Low fuel pressure can cause low engine power. Low fuel pressure can also cause cavitation of the

fuel which can damage the fuel injectors. The following conditions can cause low fuel pressure:
Plugged fuel filters
Debris in the check valves for the fuel priming pump (if equipped)
Sticking or worn fuel pressure regulating valve in the fuel transfer pump
Severe wear on return fuel pressure regulating valve at the rear of the cylinder head
Worn gears in the fuel transfer pump
Pinched fuel lines or undersized fuel lines
Old fuel lines that have a reduced interior diameter that was caused by swelling
Fuel lines with deteriorating interior surfaces
Pinched fuel line fittings or undersized fuel line fittings
Debris in the fuel tank, fuel lines, or fuel system components that create restrictions
High Fuel Pressure
Excessive fuel pressure can cause fuel filter gaskets to rupture. The following conditions can cause
high fuel pressure:
Plugged orifices in the fuel pressure regulating valve
Stuck fuel pressure relief valve in the fuel transfer pump
Restricted fuel return line

During normal operating conditions and load conditions, the fuel system should maintain the
following pressure:
400 to 525 kPa (58 to 76 psi)
At low idle, the fuel system should maintain the following pressure:
400 to 435 kPa (58 to 63 psi)
The pressure differential is the difference between filtered fuel pressure and unfiltered fuel pressure.
With a new filter, the pressure differential across the fuel filter will be the following amount:
35 kPa (5 psi)
As abrasive particles collect in the fuel filter, the pressure differential across the filter will increase.
When a filter becomes plugged, fuel supply pressure may drop as low as 69 kPa (10 psi) before a
significant power loss is detected by the operator. Low fuel pressure will cause cavitation and
internal damage to the unit injectors. The pressure differential across the fuel filter should not
exceed 69 kPa (10 psi).
Pressure regulator (8) is mounted directly in the rear of the cylinder head. The regulator is located at
the fuel return port toward the rear end of the fuel supply passage. The orifice maintains fuel
pressure at low engine rpm. The regulator contains a check valve that prevents fuel from draining out
of the cylinder head and back to the tank during engine shutdown.
In order to check the unfiltered fuel pressure (fuel transfer pump pressure), follow this procedure:
1. Install the pressure test group onto the engine.
a. For type I fuel systems that contain a fuel pressure tap (10) that is installed in the inlet
port of the fuel filter base, remove the plug from the pressure tap. Install Tooling (B)
and Tooling (C) on the fuel pressure tap (10) .
Install Tooling (A) in order to measure the fuel pressure.
b. For type II fuel systems without a pressure tap, install a t-fitting in the fuel line for the
unfiltered fuel pressure (14). If necessary, install Tooling (B) and Tooling (C) on the t-
fitting.
Install Tooling (A) in order to measure the fuel pressure.
2. Start the engine and record the unfiltered fuel pressure.
To check the filtered fuel pressure, follow these steps:
1. Remove the plug from fuel pressure tap (11) .

Note: Install Tooling (A) in order to measure the fuel pressure.
3. Start the engine and record the unfiltered fuel pressure.
