How to identify your Perkins 2000 Series engine
The model (for example 2806D-E18TA) and serial number are on the engine’s data plate. The letters after the number follow the same pattern as other Perkins engines: D and J are the build generation, E is electronic, the next number is the capacity and TA / TTA describe the turbo and aftercooling. Send us the full serial number exactly as written, the make and model of the machine or generator, and a photo of the plate if you can.
Replacing a Perkins 2206, 2506 or 2806
- Like-for-like: the simplest route for large electronic engines, where controls, cooling and exhaust are matched to the machine.
- Generator or industrial: generator (EP) engines and industrial engines are built differently. Tell us which you have.
- Emissions: Stage V engines include aftertreatment that must stay with the engine. Tell us where the machine works and we will help you choose the right build.
