PROBLEM
The engine software and possibly the injectors need to be replaced on certain C18 Industrial Engines. The software flash file that these engines were built with is not the correct software for this application and needs to be replaced with 308-5693 Software. When the required 308-5693 Software is used with 291-5911 injectors the engine is NOT emissions certified. To meet emissions compliance the injectors need to be 253-0618 Injectors when using 308-5693 Software.
