Caterpillar D398 marine engine - 1200 rpm Questions & Answers
Causes for excessive fuel consumption in caterpillar D398 Engine
V12 twin turbo with 2x 6cylinder injector pumps.
Excessive fuel consumption can be ...
fuel leak on to the ground.. Obvious
fuel leak into sump via fuel pump body... Check sump oil
worn piston rings... Grey Smoke
glazed cylinder walls...smoke
burnt valves... Need compressin test
faulty turbo(s)... Sound, check manifold pressures
blocked exhaust line/muffler... Smoke black
faulty thermostat so motor doesn't get up to temperature, what is motor temperature ? ... Smoke black
lack of oil, wrong grade of oil for temperature
scavenge fuel line from injectors blocked or not returning to tank
faulty injector(s) causing poor fuel spray
faulty injector(s) bleeding fuel into cylinders... Smoke black
faulty injector pump balance
faulty injector pump timing
faulty coupling between injector pumps, even can be one 180deg out of timing
bad diesel fuel
Are there mechanical losses in motor load ? Alternator fault ? or gearbox fault prop fault ?
What is the exhaust colour ? Black or grey ?
What are the inlet manifold pressures ?
Using a thermometer ( IR if available ) what are the cylinder head or exhaust manifold temperatures ? This may isolate problem to one or more cylinders.
If you can supply more information I may be able to help track down the problem.

WHILE RUNNING SUDDENLY ENGINE STOP .THEN WE TRY TO
There are more than one injector, did you check them all for fuel point of delivery? make sure cyl 1 is at point of delivery when flywheel is at delivery mark. Did it make a noise when it stopped? You may have lost a timing drive train? Has the fuel rack been shutdown due to a control signal? Please check these things, along with obvious sensor inputs
Vernorhaving overspeed problem with a caterpillar generator
When we use diesel generator set, it maybe a overspeed problem, this is a special fault, it will not only cause serious damage to spare parts, but also may endanger personal safety.
Under normal operation, the engine speed suddenly rises, so that the engine speeds up beyond the rated speed and loses control, and emits a huge roar, the exhaust pipe emits a lot of black smoke or blue smoke.
Here is some reasons:
Faults of injection pump and speed regulator
Additional fuel enters the combustion chamber
There are many reasons causing generator overspeed. You need to check and remove resaons one by one.
More generator technology supports, contact us: [email protected]. We are ont only a diesel generator manufacturer, but also provide supports.
RPM Caterpillar generator not stable. Any solutions ? Thanks
problem with the governor controls
if electronic controlled governor it could be the electronic system is faulty
If manual control , check for governor lever operation
check for fuel flow problems , blocked filters , low fuel level vent ing for the fuel tank blocked
Low speed
Is your CHOKE still on? Is your Actuator Cable still connected?
