Fuel Conservation Practices
The efficiency of your engine can affect the fuel economy. Caterpillar's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing technology provides maximum fuel efficiency in all applications. Follow the recommended operating and maintenance procedures to attain optimum performance for the life of your engine.* Avoid fuel spillage. Fuel expands when warmed, and may overflow from a too-full fuel tank. Inspect fuel lines for leaks, and repair immediately.* Be aware of the heat values of different fuels. Use only recommended fuels.* Avoid unnecessary idling. Shut the engine off rather than idle for long periods of time (unless the temperature is extremely cold).* Observe the air service indicator frequently, and keep the air cleaner elements clean.* Make sure that turbochargers are operating correctly so that the proper air/fuel ratio is maintained. Clean exhaust indicated proper functioning.* Maintain a good electrical system. One bad battery cell will overwork the alternator, consuming excess power and fuel.* Make sure that belts are properly adjusted and in good condition.* Make sure that all air hose connections are tight and do not leak.* Cold engines consume excess fuel. Utilize jacket water and exhaust system heat when possible. Keep radiator fins and water pumps clean and in good repair. Never operate without thermostats. All of these items will help maintain operating temperatures.* Fuel system settings and altitude limits are stamped on the engine Information Plate. If an engine is moved to a higher altitude, settings must be changed by a Caterpillar dealer in order to prevent turbocharger damage and provide maximum engine efficiency. Engines can be operated safely at lower altitudes, but will deliver less horsepower. The fuel settings should be changed by a Caterpillar dealer to obtain the rated horsepower.
