Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engine?
Yes, it was made for the Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engine. Check the old fuel injector is marked 295050-0360 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the fuel injector on my Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engine?
On the Caterpillar C7.1 diesel engine, 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.
Does it need coding to the engine?
Most common rail injectors carry a trim code (QR or IMA) printed on the body. Enter it with a diagnostic tool after fitting, or the engine runs rough and smokes.
Is this a genuine Denso 295050-0360?
No. It is an aftermarket fuel injector made to replace the Denso 295050-0360. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
