Perkins CH12799 is the electronic unit injector with a white two stud solenoid cap, a cast rocker body with the plunger return spring and blue and red O rings on the barrel. It is used on Perkins 2800 series engines. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Perkins CH12799?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Perkins CH12799 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Perkins CH12799?
Often 5,000 to 10,000 hours, but much less on poor or wet fuel. Injectors are usually changed when they fail a test, not by hours.
What are the signs the fuel injector needs replacing?
Black or white smoke, a misfire or knock on one cylinder, hard starting, higher fuel use, or a high return leak or balance rate on test.
Should I replace all of them at once?
Not always. If the others pass a return leak or balance test, one can be changed. Where they are all high hours, a full set keeps the cylinders even.
Do I need new sealing washers?
Always. Fit a new copper washer and O-rings under every injector you remove. A reused washer leaks combustion gas and carbon packs the bore.
Is this a genuine Perkins CH12799?
No. It is an aftermarket fuel injector made to replace the Perkins CH12799. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
