    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    Update: Found a place to get a hose. Hydraulic Services & Repairs Inc, Spring Grove IL makes hoses and metal lines while you wait. Not quite the Kevlar coated original, but still extra heavy duty and very flexible. Did a great job for under a c-note. Removed tank and boiled it out with 1 gallon...

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    Work and farm stuff has prevented me from doing anything to the UARV until now. Tried an experiment by placing a 5 gal. on the fender and running a clear hose into the mechanical pump. Cranked the engine and it started and sucked fuel from the can. I have to assume the the pump must be working...

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    Resolved? Well that is a complicated question. I believe I'm developing a course of action. Thanks Garp for the pump specs. That gives me a start to finding a electric pump to at least run the thing until I can solve the whole problem. Thanks to cattlerepairman for the links he provided. I'm not...

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    TM's for a2's don't help much as the 3116 is totally different fuel system. Only TM's I found are maintenance and don't give system specs. Thanks for the input though. If you have links to different TM's, plz post.

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    By the way, the Cat dealer has no idea as the engine serial number doesn't show on records. Without number, he has no specs.

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    The Caterpiller 3116 has a mechanical fuel pump located on the top of the governor near the front left of engine. There is no in-tank pump on the m109a4's and I have to assume this applies to the m35a3's as well, at least thats what the hand drawn fuel system diagram that i got from a cat dealer...

    Cat 3116 fuel pump issue?

    I broke down with my M-109a4 on a road trip in Beloit. With no local Cat dealer around or open, I was lucky(?) to be in walking distance to an Autozone. After checking all lines and filters, I was able to determine that the mechanical fuel pump had failed. The Autozone had an electric pump that...
