I do not have or seen this option for the #2 diesel. Interesting read so I'm going to be looking into this. If or when it does become available. Off Rd. is available local. Just came up about Extra stinky!! ? It could be the #2 JS..:oops...

I found out, this weekend, that I left a couple of the plastic gas cans on my property, filled with diesel. They had the caps on and were under a tarp but I am concerned for 2 reasons. 1. The diesel is probably somewhere between 6-8 months old 2. Could it be contaminated with water in those...

Bad fuel recently gave me a nightmare of bad performance. This Yanmar YM186D is from early 1980's so after 45 years anything seems possible. But today I put in fresh diesel and to my relief, this solved the problem. It purrs again. Last weekend I mowed, and spent some time grading the lane...

Hi. Folks, I had to pull the injector pump from my ck25 kioti to have it seviced.( Broken plunger spring). When I put it back in and started it up it went to fill throttle. Luckily I was able to plug intake quickly.looking through the service manual it looks like I may have had the pump control...

So I have some stuff in my fuel ( Kubota L3540) , I tried to siphon it out to no avail and I really dont want to pull the tank so I was wondering of I could vacuum it out with my shop vac??? What do you think?

accidentally put about 6 ounces of gasoline in a nearly empty tank. I did not start it. I drained the tank from the hose that connects to the filter housing. I flush again with about half gallon of fresh diesel. I started and ran it, and it sounded funny so I decided to flush the entire system...

Well... I'm new to modern diesel truck ownership. This will be my first winter where I feel like I'm going to end up in the cold with one. I live in Arkansas so I'm not sure if we have winter blend fuel or not. I also don't have any idea about the exhaust fluid in the winter. I haul on the side...

I bought this 1972 Ford 3400 tractor a few months ago. The tractor is an agricultural model painted yellow. The guy had pictures of it running, so I know it's been used somewhat recently. He said the only thing wrong with it was that it needed a fuel pump. He already had it off, but it was...

I have 35 gal of diesel fuel but don't really need it until April so my question is. What is the difference in using winter diesel in the summer? Other than cost.

I had been looking and looking for a easy to use quality fuel additive. Came across this stuff and I'm very pleased. I've used it in my Mahindra and New Holland. Super simple!!!! It is winter time, so I just dumped the whole bottle in, and filled the tank. Noticed less smoke on initial start up...

Diesel 4.15 PG today... My guess that this time next year its sub 3.00.. I remember back in 2018/2019.. Mass was pushing hard to raise the fuel tax because gas was sub 2.00 PG and it was such a great time to do it,.. because they could add .25PG and the consumer wouldn't really notice it...

Went to blow the debris out of my 1445 this afternoon after finishing mowing and noticed that the engine was smoking. Then I saw diesel fuel spewing out of the top of the fuel filter onto the engine block. This machine still has the original fuel filter with 68 hours on the machine. No fire...

Hey guys/gals I been thinking about getting another tractor (changing implements is too hard... LOLOLOLOL :) ). Thinking of the older non computerized models but reallly like the power/reliability of diesel (and power steering). So I'm thinking, could I get an older gas model and convert it...

Hello everybody, I found a slow diesel leak from the underside of my JD 5205 injector pump. There is a large size "plug" on the very bottom and is not easy to reach without taking the pump off. Is anybody aware of what this is and why it's leaking? It only leaks a few drips per hour. Picture...

I bought a new-to-me '97 Ford F250 and it had 4 to 5 year old diesel fuel in it. It ran pretty cr@ppy on that fuel. On fresher fuel it ran much better. Then I bought some Power Service diesel treatment and some Lucas lubricity additive and injector cleaner and wow, it ran shockingly better than...

I bought some Kirkland (Costco) diesel rated oil for diesel tractor summer use. It's rated for that and shown in these photos. But I just noticed it's also rated for gas engines--I think--because it has an API SN rating. Does that SN mean I can use in a gas tractor as well? I know not to use...

Have an opportunity to buy a truck with a Maxxforce 9.3L diesel. It’s the “emissions” version of my HT-570 in my 2007 International dump truck. It has a problematic DPF and an even worse cooled EGR. I have heard many nightmares. This engine line/family basically put IH out of the OTR truck...

The gas gauge in my 2002 Buick refuses to work when car is not used regularly. I have learned to use a magnet to bring the dial all the way around to reset. My Kubota diesel gauge registers below empty. Has anyone determined a method for resetting the diesel gauge on a Kubota?

I hate using 5 or 6 gallon diesle fuel containers to fuel my JD and Kubota tractors, so I've been looking for a 15 or 20 gallons barrel to make a portable fuel caddy. I mentioned it to a friend, and he gave me a plastic 15 gallon barrel that he had no use for. I rinsed it put with water, then...

Hello. I have a 254 Chinese tractor with 3 cyl. LaiDong engine. The crank case keeps getting filled with diesel fuel somehow. I'm guessing the fuel is getting through from the injector pump maybe?

So, just bought a summit tractor last week as Atwoods. Has been an amazing addition to my 66 Ford 2000. Today something went haywire though, I was driving and it started sputtering, then died. Now it won’t stay running, and when it does start idling, it won’t rev up. I checked fuel level...

Hello, Does anyone here recommend someone or a shop who can re-seal the injector pump on my 1998 Massey Ferguson 231? I’m aware I’d have to ship it. It is dripping diesel where the rotor head goes into the pump housing. There’s an o-ring there. I’d like the whole pump re-sealed since it has to...

Hey everyone, I have a 1988 Case IH 275 compact tractor with a 3 speed transmission, and a 3 speed range transmission. Everything on it works great, except it will randomly stop moving while going in forward or reverse. After about 2-3 minutes of the tractor running, it will just stop...

HI all, Got a 1969 Ford 3000 diesel. One of the bleeder "bolts" on the fuel filter bracket stripped out the threads on the housing. I can tap this out to a 3/8-24 but do I need a special bolt with holes in it for the bleeder to work ok? For now I am just going to add a 1/2 inch 3/8-24 bolt so...

I recently bought an older B5200. I can get it to crank by jumping the solenoid but that's as far as it goes. Even with a quick shot of starting fluid.(I know, bad for diesels). Any ideas? Also how do you remove the sheet metal holding the instrument cluster? I have removed all of the bolts and...

Hi TBN friends! I just became the owner of an F3990 Front Mower. In general it works really well. I have been reading the owners manual and it states that you shouldn't run anything more than B5 diesel in it. (5% biodiesel). It gives no reason for the warning and admonition. Given that...
