I use this fuel additive and haven’t had any issues...
thanks - is this antigel too?
have to check - i tried some yellow/gold stuff from tractor supply - do not remember the name but when cold my stuff freezes. when i really need it - in case of serious snao which is rare but have had - it is useless. and some magnetic heater put on the 2nd year i had it but when i tried to use t last year or 2 years ago never worked.

I’m not sure if it’s an anti gel or not ..
ok got the furel filter and 2 orings in yesterday and replaced this am. same thing. called the dealer mechanic and he said sounds like a kill switch. not knowing as much as these guys i knew it was more than a fuel filter and know hoe little time and use etc. i have on it.
they do not have it in stock but it is about $250 and have to wait for that and either figure out where and how to install it or try to get a firend and hr plus away that can help. by the time i get it fixed it will be too late to get in the vineyard to do what i should have een done with already this week. that's my update as of now.

Want to make sure the symptoms, will it will start and run but when you release the key to the run position it dies? If so it sounds like the ETR sol. ( fuel shut off sol.)
yes i would say so and the head mechanic said it was the kill switch that goud into the injectors or some such thing. i am not trying to replace half he tractor to fix this stupid issue. but no good sitting in my pathway as it is either. the dealer is an hr away and to have them pick it up and bring it back etc will be nasty - so that is all i can say.

BEFORE you go replacing the fuel shutoff solenoid, do this:
Pull the fuel hose off on the inlet side of the fuel sediment filter/bowl, and MAKE DANG SURE you have good fuel flow on that side. IF it's just a dribble, you have an obstruction in the line between the tank & the bowl, or IN the tank.
Had the exact same symptoms on my current Yanmar about the same number of hours when new. Would start, run a few seconds, die. Then maybe start and run for an hour...then die....start again in a few minutes....maybe run, maybe die....totally random.
Dealer said "fuel shutoff solenoid".....replaced it. No effect. Replaced it a second time.....NO EFFECT.....was going to replace it a THIRD time (what are the odds of 2 bad solenoids ????) when they finally did what I said.....pulled the hose off at the tank....bare dribble of fuel....enough to fill the fuel bowl and let it start, but not enough to keep it running.
They stuck a skinny screwdriver up in the tank outlet fitting and got hosed with fuel.....because there was a wad of plastic shavings (from drilling the hole for the fuel outlet is my guess) along with a bug in the wad that floated over the fuel outlet in the bottom of the tank.....at random.....and shut off the fuel. Cleaned out tank, (drained thru a cloth which is how the wad of crap showed up), cured the problem.
Not saying this is your problem, but the odds of a fuel solenoid failing in 100 hr tractor are a LOT lower than a tank obstruction.....in fact, unless you're using really crappy fuel, the filter in that sediment bowl shouldn't be a problem either in that few hours.
So pull the hose off and see what you get.

when i replaced the fuel filter the diesel did pour ut without any issues so there is not a fuel issue that way. not knowing the exact terminology when you unsercew the bowl the diesl pour out and has an auto shuoff as you take it off - and the same when you redo the bowl. it poured out a couple of time due to not getting the threads quite right and then once you do it all works out - the bowl fills with diesel quickly so obviously no issue there. i can only say what i see and what i was told etc.. thanks.
Ok this is starting to be a joke. the owner was off friday and sat and the kid in parts is a total numbn*ts. the dealere still has not confirmed ordering the part and also said it could be a fuel pump. asked him how much he would give me for the tractor at this point. replace this for 25 and then this for 400 and then try this for 700 or whatever... i am very disappointed. one great exoerience with this delaer and now everything went down the tubes... will update you when i can.
