Perkins original  10R-1280 High Pressure Common Rail Diesel Fuel Injector 10R1280 245-8272 2501308 For CAT 3508 3512 3516 original new injector

The Perkins 3512B fuel injector, primary OE number 10R-1280, is engineered for precise fuel metering and superior atomization within the 3500 Series diesel platform. Authorized cross references include 20R-1272, 250-1308, 152-1887, 162-8810, 229-0195, 386-1760, 392-0208, and 0R-7780, alongside 20R2296, 10R1279, 20R1265, 20R1266, 3920214, 3760509, and 10R2827, allowing direct substitution across Perkins 3512B, 3512C, 3516B, 3516C, 3508, and 3520 engines. Manufactured from hardened alloy steel under ISO 9001 standards, each injector delivers high temperature resistance above 500°C and corrosion-resistant coatings for continuous operation in severe environments.

This injector assembly serves marine propulsion systems, diesel generator sets, mining equipment, heavy construction machinery, oilfield equipment, industrial power systems, stationary power plants, and offshore platforms. OEM fitment ensures direct replacement without modification, while global Perkins distribution networks support availability across North America, South America, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, China, Europe, and Russia. Industries served include mining, marine, power generation, oil and gas, construction, industrial manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation sectors worldwide.

Installation requires cleaning the injector bore, replacing sealing rings, lubricating O-rings, tightening to specified torque, bleeding the fuel system, and verifying spray performance. Best practices include using clean diesel fuel, replacing fuel filters regularly, avoiding water contamination, monitoring fuel pressure, performing bench testing, and inspecting fuel return flow. Recommended diagnostic actions involve injector testing, flow calibration, nozzle replacement, seal replacement, fuel system flushing, and injector replacement to maintain optimal engine performance.
