Hi,
Newbie here with a DB 885 diesel. Bought the tractor 2 months ago and noticed a leak from the sediment bowl. I suspected the bowl and gasket were both at fault, but getting replacement parts has been a crap shoot. I ended up ordering 2 bowls. One appears to be the correct diameter but is too long. The other is too small in diameter by just a few mm. I finally decided to try replacing it last night and what a mess! First off, why is there no fuel shut off between the tank and the bowl???? Second, after I got the bowl off, it does, as I suspected, have a chip in the glass at the top which i suspect keeps it from sealing. Since neither of the new bowls fit, I replaced the gasket and tried installing the old bowl, but it still leaks. I even tried two gaskets, but it leaks.
Does any one know where I can get the correct bowl and gasket for this tractor?
Thanks, Dan.
