Antifreeze in fuel filter

[Cg3]

I have a John Deere 2640 but the fuel filter is filled with antifreeze could someone let me know how this happened

Are you sure it's antifreeze and not water from your tank?

I’m going to agree that it’s a mixture of water and fuel unless you dumped antifreeze in the fuel tank.

If it's actually antifreeze someone inadvertently, mistakenly put antifreeze in fuel tank. I witnessed that several time when I was employed by JD dealer many yrs ago. Unfortunately JD engineers didn't provide for a fuel tank drain cock. So one needs to siphon antifreeze from tank or remove fuel shut off valve to drain the antifreeze.

I also saw the opposite where inexperienced people would take radiator cap off to fill with diesel.

I understand why deere put the fuel tank in front of the radiator for weight but it certainly required people paying attention so didn’t fill with wrong fluid.
