63153 Mariner CLIP, HARNESS TO COIL COVER

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, PERJ1017, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
To avoid damage, do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) to pressurize the fuel tank.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. Allow the electric starting motor to cool for 2 minutes before cranking again.
Use caution. Exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. If you operate the equipment in an enclosed area, adequate ventilation is necessary.

T1 1 2P-8278 Tube As Test Preparation
Remove the pertinent covers to expose the fuel system components, lines, and fuel tank.Test Procedures
Examine the fuel system for leaks. Ensure that the fuel line fittings are properly tightened. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Air can enter the fuel system on the suction side between the fuel transfer pump and the fuel tank.
Install a 2P-8278 Tube As (SIGHT GAUGE) in the fuel return line. When possible, install the sight gauge in a straight section of the fuel line that is at least 304.8 mm (12 inch) long. Do not install the sight gauge near the following devices that create turbulence:
Elbows
Relief valves
Check valvesObserve the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel in the sight gauge, prime the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information. If the engine starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine speeds. When possible, operate the engine under the conditions which have been suspect of air in the fuel.

(1) A steady stream of small bubbles with a diameter of approximately 1.60 mm (0.063 inch) is an acceptable amount of air in the fuel.
(2) Bubbles with a diameter of approximately 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) are also acceptable if there is 2 to 3 seconds intervals between bubbles.
(3) Excessive air bubbles in the fuel are not acceptable.
If excessive air is seen in the sight gauge in the fuel return line, install a second sight gauge at the fuel transfer pump inlet. If a second sight gauge is not available, move the sight gauge from the fuel return line to the fuel transfer pump inlet. Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If the engine starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine speeds.If excessive air is not seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, the air is entering the system after the fuel transfer pump. Proceed to Step 6.If excessive air is seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, air is entering through the suction side of the fuel system. Proceed to Step 4.
Pressurize the fuel tank to 35 kPa (5 psi). Do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) to avoid damage to the fuel tank. Check for leaks in the fuel lines between the fuel tank and the fuel transfer pump. Repair any leaks that are found.
If the source of the air is not found, disconnect the supply line from the fuel tank. Then, connect an external fuel supply to the fuel transfer pump inlet. If connecting an external fuel supply corrects the problem, repair the fuel tank or the stand pipe in the fuel tank.
If the injector sleeve is worn or damaged, combustion gases may be leaking into the fuel system. Also, if the O-rings on the injector sleeves are worn, missing, or damaged, combustion gases may leak into the fuel system.
