Detroit Diesel 23516918 Fuel Check Valve – Series 60 12.7L 14L

Genuine Detroit Diesel OEM 23516918 fuel pump check valve for Series 50 and Series 60 engines (11.1L, 12.7L, 14.0L). Spring-loaded one-way valve sits between the fuel pump and the return line and holds prime in the cylinder-head fuel galleries when the engine is shut off — the part you replace when a Series 60 cranks fine warm but turns into an extended-cranking start cold. Replaces PAI 645052 and Interstate-McBee A-23516918.

Signs You Need a New Fuel Check Valve

• Hard starting or extended cranking, especially after sitting overnight
• Fuel system loses prime after engine shutdown
• Air in fuel system causing rough running or stalling
• Fuel filter bowl level drops after engine is turned off
• Engine starts fine warm but struggles when cold

23516918 vs 23516993 — Which Do I Need?

Detroit Diesel ships two fuel check valve part numbers; they differ on the male thread:

• 23516918: 3/8 in Female x 3/4 in -16 Male Pipe (this part)
• 23516993: 3/8 in Female x 5/8 in -18 Male Pipe

Verify your existing valve or fuel-line fitting thread size before ordering. Some Series 60 installations locate the check valve in the return line near the fuel tank rather than on the back of the head — check both before deciding the valve is the cause of a no-start.

Verify your engine serial number and fuel system configuration before ordering. Use a fuel-rated thread sealant on installation; prime the system and check for leaks before cranking.

Damaged Shipments
All Pro Truck Parts is not responsible for damage that occurs in transit - responsibility for damaged shipments lies with the carrier. However, we are glad to assist by filing a claim with the carrier on your behalf.

If your package arrives damaged, please do the following:

1. Refuse delivery if the package is visibly damaged at the time of arrival, and note the damage with the driver.
2. If the damage is discovered after delivery, photograph the outer packaging BEFORE opening the box, then photograph the contents showing the damage.
3. Keep all original packaging, including boxes, packing materials, and labels. Carriers may require an inspection before approving a claim.
4. Notify us within 48 hours of delivery by submitting a damaged shipment report at help.allprotruckparts.com/damaged-shipment.

Once a claim has been filed, resolution is determined by the carrier. Refunds and replacements for damaged shipments will only be issued after the carrier approves the claim. Failure to report damage within 48 hours, discarding the original packaging, or opening a visibly damaged package without photographing it first may result in the carrier denying the claim, in which case we are unable to refund or replace the item.
