Found out problem on this posting-#4 Fuel Injector went out
causing it to dump raw fuel into my exhaust system.
Luck I guess being on my side it did not catch fire. It
was so hot it cooked most of the internal parts of the
exhaust and the stainless tail pipe end was tarnished.
Had to change out exhaust system completely
plus fuel injector which was done by Catipillar!
Since having it @ repair facility I had all fluids
changed, hoses, fuel filter & Air Filter.
Runs Great now again! My surprise is this Catipillar 330
HP did not give me any signs that I was having a
problem, never lost power- other than me noticing more
than usual black smoke from exhaust ??
Thanks again from all for your input, they were
very helpful !!!
