Product Overview
The primer is used to draw fuel into the low-pressure system and purge air after a filter change, fuel-system service, or loss of prime. A worn primer can leak externally, pull air, fail to build resistance, or make bleeding the system unnecessarily difficult.
Caterpillar cross-reference listings connect 105-2508 with numbers including 4W0788, 4N2511, 6N6800, 1W5014, 8N6800 and 9S8617. The broad engine coverage makes the part-number match more important than any single machine model.

Before You Order
Confirm the primer reference and mounting/sealing arrangement on your filter base or fuel system. Replace damaged seals and inspect the filter-base threads/surfaces if the old primer leaked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When do I use the primer pump?
A: After opening the low-pressure fuel system—such as during filter replacement—or whenever air must be purged before starting.
Q: Why might a primer never get firm?
A: Air leaks, an empty/restricted tank supply, damaged primer check valves or a leak elsewhere in the low-pressure circuit can prevent it from building resistance.
