Title: 3106C generator fuel leak
Post by: loveourbigyetti on June 01, 2013, 04:08:28 pm
I have a Cat 3106C generator that is leaking out of the fuel injector at the pump.  I have replace the o-ring on each injector but it is still leaking.  It acts as though the o-ring is not installed.  I went to the dealer to purchase the o-ring and try to get a drawing of the system.  They had the o-ring but no drawings.

If any one has any ideas I am all ears.  We are on our way to Oregon and it would be nice to use the generator while we are traveling.

Trent, CAT 3106C Genny ? You sure ? I am not aware that FT used anything other than Powertech and Onan, and in some older ones Kohler..  If Powertech give them a call. In Atlanta we have a very good injector rebuild shop but I am not sure where you are or of other shops.  Goof luck, If you have further info please post it, someone here will probably be of help.

I have a Power Tech generator, which is powered by Caterpillar.  The system is a 2005.

Trent, OK I learn something every day.  Mine is powered by a Kubota.  In any event call Powertech  if you haven't already.  They can probably give you some help.
