PUMP GP-FUEL PRIMING 4209366 - Caterpillar

Illustration 1. Fabricated extension prevents fuel splash problems.When the 5P4150 Nozzle Tester Group is used, the 8S2270 Fuel Collector must be put at different heights to keep the nozzle orifices below the rim of the fuel collector. As the amount of test fuel or calibrating oil increases in the fuel collector, the spray will cause the fluid to "splash" out of the fuel collector.
The FT1384 Extension prevents the splash and permits the fuel collector to be used at one height (Illustration 1). The FT1384 Extension can be used with any 5P4150 Nozzle Tester Group or any 8S2242 Nozzle Tester Group that has had a 5P4149 Conversion Group installed (Illustration 2).

The height of the extension is according to the way in which the nozzle tester group is installed.
