My 1997 Cat IT24F ran out of fuel the other day. Has done it many times as the fuel gauge has never worked since we bought it in 2001...
Anyhow, it now feels short on fuel so we changed both fuel filters with new OEM ones. Still short on fuel and blows a lot of blue/white smoke. Engine is a 3114 T. Has 14500 hours. Never changed injectors. Can they be failing? :confused: I remember my excavator having the same engine and that one had to have new injectors once.
Engine has been overhauled about 3 years ago, had a crack in a cylinder wall, was putting water in the oil. New sleaves done by machine shop, on CAT dealers order with warranty. Local mechanic did the rebuilding of the engine.
Thanks, Dennis
