Cat injectors

Eric and one or two others, I think when Greg and I first started talking we decided if anybody wanted injectors from OZ that they would have to send new one over. What I also remember is sometime in Feb, or March of 2012 Cat started having MAJOR injector failures with brand new injectors out of the box. This changed the thought process of finding injectors to use for Greg to redo. Eric if you asked me before Feb or March of this year, I may have told you that only a new injector would work for this project. The reason Greg doesn't want to deal directly with everybody in the USA is. He doesn't want a problem with someone not understanding how they work when there is a problem with the engine afterwards. Eric is a good example. little cat 500 has gone through numerous injectors in the last 18 months when some of the problem was a restriction/blockage in a fuel fitting in the head. The quality of CAT's new injectors is so bad out of the box at the moment that Greg no longer wants to touch them. Because when they fail afterwards everybody will blame him for the failure, when in reality it was CAT that machined them incorrectly causing the actuator to fail. I have two spare injectors that I bought new injectors for, at this moment I consider them junk.........expensive junk, but junk. The reason is I may install them in the engine and have them fail 10 hours later, heck it could be 5 minutes later. When I bought these injectors neither Greg or myself knew of the problem. Greg emailed me shortly after they arrived here that he was diagnosing the problem for a CAT dealer in OZ that was having multiple new injector failures out of the box and that my new spare injectors maybe good, but could be very possibly be bad. They didn't run long enough on the bench to fail. Since than Ive had two people spend the time, effort and money to have Greg do injectors, both set started from used new part number injectors. If you want to send Reman part number injectors than plan on sending 4 or 5 extras to get a set of 7 good ones back

I don't want to argue with people over something they think is wrong, when I know from my own experiences that isn't the problem. Greg's injectors will out preform anything I've seen anywhere. The problem is the cost of shipping them. Fighting with Australia's Customs and the General Service Taxes that are owed upon arrival in Australia, along with the additional GST taxes owed for Greg's work and returning them to the USA.

 

Easy Kurt, that's not what I meant. I understood he wanted new part numbers, not new out of the box. You said OR or 10R injectors he refused to work on. I was simply upset I didn't have new injectors. Please don't mis read what I said. I left TDG to get away from all the drama and Superman and his cape....lets everyone stay on track. I'm just trying to fix my problem, that's all.

 

I can't find any info on this Fuel Force. Does anybody know anything about them?

 

Any advice for guys that are not ready for a set of injectors on an acert? If we have one fail , what would be the best thing to do. Buy a new or reman cat product. There does not seem like there is a good alternative .

 

Thats what i need to know. How much money is it going to cost me to get a good set of c 15 injectors from Fuel Force?
