Femco is proud to announce our latest innovation in drain technology. In collaboration with our customers in heavy equipment, we’ve developed fuel tank drain valve for Caterpillar Haul Trucks and Wheel Loaders. This drain valves allows for maintenance technicians to easily drain water condensation that has gathered at the bottom of the diesel fuel tank, without having to drain the tank completely of fuel. Femco’s Caterpillar Fuel Tank Plug is also a great option for flushing the fuel system.
Due to the exposed location of the fuel tank drain valve, we didn’t compromise on materials. We chose to go with durable, corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel with a durable and impact resistant POM dust cap. POM is high-performance thermoplastic polymer, same material used for dust caps on Femco’s highspeed rail applications, and ensures the threads and valve mechanism are protected in any situation.
Our customers had reached out, expressing dissatisfaction with the ease of service with the OEM fuel tank set up. Femco Draintechnology developed a specialized stainless steel drain plug as a solution. A fuel tank can have a capacity of 2500-5000L, and this plug can handle it with ease.
This drain plug fits the fuel tanks of various Caterpillar mining equipment, including the CAT:
– Haul Truck 777G
– Haul Truck 793F
– Wheel Loader 994H
