Yes absolutely. Just make sure you add a tea-spoon of sugar.

No, The 3512 is a 1100hp @ 1200 rpm marine Propulsion Engine, The 3508 is a 600kw @ 1500 rpm generator set engine.

The injectors are different part #'s and have different fuel delivery rates based on HP requirements.

Why would you want to interchange them?

CAT Reman injectors 10R1284 cost is $664.89ea. for the 3512

and 10R1288 cost is $ 664.89ea. for the 3508
