Is anyone having or had any issues with the oil fill caps coming off during operation of their C18´s? If so, what can be done to correct this problem? Any feedback will be helpful.
Thanks,
Warren |

I just bought a boat with C-18s. It has several level indicators cut into the dipstick. Exactly how much, with a full oil filter, does this motor hold? I´ve been told 13 gallons. Is that correct? |

How can the fuel filter flow requirements for CAT engines be determined? I don´t see this in any of the spec sheets for the C-18 for instance. |
