The fuel flows from the main gas supply through the fuel filter. Usually, the fuel filter is a component of the design at the particular site. The customer is responsible for supplying clean, dry fuel to the engine. The fuel filter may be supplied by Caterpillar or by the customer. To prevent particles from entering the engine, a 1 micron filter is required. The filter must be the proper size for the required gas pressure.The recommended location for the installation of the fuel filter is close to the engine but before the gas pressure regulator. Pressure gauges in the gas lines on each side of the fuel filter are recommended to monitor the differential pressure of the filter. A manual shutoff valve in the gas line before the fuel filter will facilitate servicing of the filter.
