Using Fuel Consumption For Calculating the Overhaul Intervals
Experience has shown that maintenance intervals are most accurately based on fuel consumption. Fuel consumption corresponds more accurately to the engine load. Tables 1and 2 list average ranges of fuel consumption and service hours for a load factor of approximately 25 percent.

(1) Fuel consumption is based on a load factor of approximately 25 percent.Use the actual records of fuel consumption, when possible. If the actual records are not available, use the following procedure in order to estimate the fuel consumption.
Estimate the average percent of the load for the operation of the engine.
Refer to the fuel consumption data in the Technical Marketing Information (TMI) for your engine. This will determine the fuel consumption for the percent of the load that was estimated in Step 1. Use this figure as variable "F" for the equation in Table 3. For more information about the Technical Marketing Information (TMI) for your engine, consult your Caterpillar dealer.

Equation For Calculating Overhaul Intervals
F/R = H
“F” is the estimated total amount of fuel consumption of the engine.
“R” is the rate
