I have a new 3540 with only about 25hrs and went to use it the other day and noticed that the fuel glass was 'black'. A closer look showed a bit of sediment on the bottom so I drained and cleaned the plastic bowl. On the bottom was a bit ( about a tea-spoon) of fine black sediment and the filter was basically black. Didn't have a new filter so only cleaned bowl and put back together. It appears that my diesel is black or really dark colored. Didn't have time to sample fuel or drain tank as I only use my tractor on weekends.
Has anyone seen this before? how does black crude get in a new tractor tank? should I just replace filter and add new diesel or drain and flush tank??
