Hi all,
CK20 with roughly 80 hrs. I've changed my fuel filter roughly 4 times in the life of the machine, and prior to this last change was noting some fuel delivery issues.
Quite the surprise when I pulled the filter. It was completely covered in what looked like red clay, and had collapsed in on itself (I assume from the pump working overtime). In reaching in to the fuel tank I noticed this substance on the interior of the tank.
I get my fuel from both an onsite tank which runs through two fine filters, and/or the pump (road not ag diesel). At one point in the past, when refueling I remembered seeing what looked like almost a thin coating coming off of the interior of the tank. I wrote it off as a little bit of bad fuel, but now I'm wondering.
Let's assume someone did not dump a cup of clay/soil in my tank. Does the tank have a coating on the interior, that could have dissolved and turned into this substance? Any other thoughts?
