General Information Section


Introduction

The 284-0413 Bulk Fuel Filtration System is an integrated unit designed to remove particulates and
water from diesel fuel. The maximum rated flow for this system is 190 LPM (50 GPM).

The system consists of one particulate pre-filter vessel, one fuel/water separator vessel, and a
slug/differential control valve mounted on a base/drip pan assembly. Inlet and outlet ball valves are
included on the system. All pressure containing components are welded carbon steel or ductile iron
designed for use in all environments.

Pre-filter elements remove most of the solid particulate contamination. Coalescer elements and
separator canisters remove water and filter the fuel. If restriction in the system (clogged filter
elements or high water level) exceeds 172 kPa (25 psi), the slug control valve will close, stopping fuel
flow.

Filters should be replaced and separator canisters cleaned every six months, or whenever differential
pressure reaches 138 kPa (20 psi).

The slug valve also limits flow through the system to 190 LPM (50 GPM)maximum.

The system is equipped with a pressure relief valve located between the pre-filter vessel and water
separator vessel. The pressure relief valve prevents the system from being overpressurized above
1034 kPa (150 psi).

Applications
The Caterpillar Bulk Fuel Filtration System is intended for use in any application where users store
fuel for machines or engines. The filter unit is installed in series between the fuel pump on the fuel
storage tank and the fueling station or fuel transport vehicle.

Note: The system does not require electrical power unless it is used in cold climates. Optional 307-
0655 Electric Heaters (120 V), or 307-2569 Electric Heaters (220 V) are available for cold climates
where water removed from the fuel may freeze.

to install cover.

Clean The Filtration System

1. For ease of operation and maintenance, clean the unit with a nonsolvent based cleaner, after
filter replacement, or as needed.

2. Remove dirt and debris from the base after filter replacement, or as needed.

3. Base (1) features base drain plug (22). Remove the plug to drain accumulated fluids into an
approved container. Reinstall the plug.

Note: All fluid and materials used with or on the bulk fuel filtration system must be handled
and disposed of properly. Follow all Federal, State, and Local regulations on disposal of waste
products.

4. Wipe gauge lens and sight glass with a clean, dry cloth to maintain visibility.

Start up After Maintenance

Perform the Start-up procedure after replacing filter elements, or any other maintenance where the
bulk fuel filtration system is opened.

For step by step information, refer to Start-up Procedure in the Operation Section of this manual.

Slug Valve Reset

Differential fluid pressure above 172 kPa (25 psi) caused by filter element restrictions will result in
the slug valve closing, and stopping all fuel flow through the bulk fuel filtration system. Before
refueling can resume, do the following:

1. Turn OFF the fuel supply pump.

(3a) Inlet Ball Valve Handle in CLOSED Position

(20a) Outlet Ball Valve Handle in CLOSED Position

2. CLOSE inlet and outlet ball valves.

a. Fully CLOSE inlet ball valve by moving handle (3a) away from the inlet pipe, as shown.

b. Fully CLOSE outlet ball valve by moving handle (20a) away from the outlet pipe, as
shown.

3. Check both differential pressure gauge (5) follower needles for readings above 172 kPa (25 psi)
to help identify which filter is restricted.

Note: If differential gauge readings are normal, check for high water accumulation in sight
glass (8). Use manual water drain valve (11) to remove water from coalescer vessel (7).
Resume refueling operation.

4. If differential pressure gauges (5) indicate restricted filters, refer to the Maintenance Section in
this manual for filter element replacement procedures.

(18) Typical Slug Valve Shown in SET Position

5. Once all restrictions are corrected, reset slug valve (18) by moving lever from TRIPPED
position to SET position.

Note: If slug valve (18) will not reset, or immediately closes again, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section in this manual, or contact your local Cat dealer for assistance.

NOTICE

Slug valve is factory set to 172 kPa (25 psi) differential pressure. Do
NOT adjust factory setting. Changing the setting can result in
improper fuel filtration and damage to the bulk fuel filtration system
components.

Note: To ensure fuel quality, have fuel cleanliness tested on a regular basis. For more information on
fuel quality testing, refer to the latest version of SEBU6250 Cat Machine Fluids Recommendations.
