17 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications Fuel Specifications i01060086 General Fuel Information SMCS Code: 1250; 1280 • Purchase fuel fr om a reputable supplier . • Use fuel that meets the minimum Caterpillar specifications for diesel fuel. The specifications are included in the table Caterpillar Specifications for Distillate Fuel.
18 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications Fuel Heaters The fuel cloud point is related to problems with fuel filters. The heater heats the fuel above the cloud point befor e the fuel enters the fuel filter . This prevents wax from blocking the filter .
19 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications (T able 7, contd) Caterpillar Specifications for Distillate Diesel Fuel Specifications Requirements ASTM T est 30 minimum API Gravity 45 maximum “ D287 ” P our P oint 6 C (10 F) minimum below ambient temperature “ D97 ” Sulfur (1) 3% maximum “ D3605 ” or “ D1552 ” Kinematic Viscosity (2) 1.
20 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications i01111650 Characteristics of Diesel Fuel SMCS Code: 1250; 1280 The primary characteristics that af fect engine operation and perfor mance in cold temperatures are the following characteristics: Lubricity , Viscosity , Cetane Number , Cloud Point, Pour Point, and Moisture Content.
21 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications Cetane Number The cetane number of the fuel has an effect on the ability of the engine to start. Also, the cetane number has an effect on the interval of time before the engine runs smoothly . Generally , an increase of ten in the cetane number will allow the engine to be started at a lower temperature.
22 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications g00592741 Illustration 5 Cloud point of fuel mixtures Generally , the most practical method that is used to prev ent problems that are caused b y fuel cloud point at low temperatures is the use of fuel heaters.
23 Maintenance Section Fuel Specifications 5. Determine the lowest outside temperature for machine operation. Find this point on the left side of the table. Mark this point. Draw a horizontal line from this point. Stop the line at the intersection of line “ A ” .
24 Maintenance Section Cooling System Specifications Cooling System Specifications i01111669 General Coolant Information SMCS Code: 1350; 1395 NO TICE Nev er add coolant to an ov erheated engine. Engine damage could result. Allow the engine to cool first.
