SPM-HEP-2570 is a fuel shutoff solenoid for the Caterpillar 216, 226, 236, 906 and similar machines with Perkins 400 series engines. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
It replaces Caterpillar 172-7209 and Caterpillar 2848A278.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Engine will not start or will not stop
A failed fuel shutoff solenoid holds the fuel off (no start) or will not cut it (no stop). Check power at the plug first.
Engine cuts out
A weak pull-in or hold coil lets the solenoid drop out under vibration and the engine stalls.
Sticking plunger
Dirt and corrosion stop the plunger moving freely. Replacing the solenoid is quicker than freeing an old one.
Fleet spares
A spare solenoid on the van turns a no-start into a quick fix on site.
