Caterpillar Marine Services

Caterpillar Marine Services C18 Diesel Engine, according to Caterpillar, the engine has a mechanically actuated electronically controlled unit injector fuel system. This system offers a special variable injection timing that boosts combustion at a variety of speed and loading levels. It took Caterpillar over two decades to refine this fuel system technology to reach the point that it is at today.

There is also a wide operating speed range that provides high levels of power across a broad range of speeds. This provides superior reserve power when quick acceleration is required by work boats, tugboats, towboats, water jet propulsion and dredges.
