I am relatively new to tractors and diesel engines... I bought this MF a few years ago and have only put on ~20 hours.
I recently replaced the fuel filter and O-rings on my MF240 and it is still leaking. It drips once every 10-15 seconds. It appears to leak at the top and bottom of the glass bowl. I don't want to over tighten the bolt and I already have it pretty snug. Any suggestions on how to stop the leaking? Maybe a little RTV?
I replaced the filter and added a "pre filter" to see what was clogging up my lines. I can't tell if it is rust or microbes. After thoroughly cleaning the glass bowl, replacing the filter and adding Sta-Bil to the tank I have not had any further problems with fuel blockages.
Thanks for the input!
