It is/was NOT a Caterpillar Corp decision to install/not install the primer pump.
That was a decision made by the chassis/coach maker. And, sadly, often the bean counters overruled the engineers and techs.
The manual primer pump and its fit on the Caterpillar secondary fuel filter housing is extremely universal. I have seen them on marine engine, off-road equipment as well as on highway equipment. All the same pump.
I would NOT have a Caterpillar engine without the manual primer pump. The good news is that all that is involved is removing the two bolts that hold the blockoff plate and installing the pump with new bolts and gasket.
