My Cat 3126 has developed an intermittent misfire that my mechanic in Florida thinks could be a leaking injector seal. He 1st suggested I replace the primary fuel filter which I will be doing today but I thought I would reach out for help anyway just in case the filter does not fix my problem.
 
Update on Caterpillar mechanic.
I did find someone familiar with the older pre-computer engine in my MS 400. The problem turned out to be a plugged pre-filter. The company Zimmerman Marine, found the problem quickly, replaced the filters and billed me fairly. I would use them again.
