Subject: RE: 3116 CAT fuel issue


Between Omaha and Des Moines, 7 miles South of I80

John.jr - 2/9/2018 18:44 I pulled the vc, no obvious change in return bubbles when actuating each injector manually.

 After it sat all afternoon it did start on the first try but almost died, ran rough for about 30 seconds

. I'll see how it starts after 24 hrs. Thank you for your help Also going to track down fittings to test the diaphragm tomorrow

 

During next start-up, see if you can watch your sight glasses/hoses carefully = might need 2 people = one to turn ignition key, and you to watch the clear fuel hoses.

Also, record if there was any fuel, at all in that clear SUPPLY line/fuel, even before cranking (or did it "drain backwards", over night)

 

Note: Looking to determine if any "air" is coming from supply line, or is it coming from injector area or maybe the whole fuel system drained backwards
