When I fueled up last week, after I noticed alittle bit of ice in the bottom of my fuel can. Since then its been running very poorly until I added some water remover. Tonight its very cold and it started for about 10 seconds and cut out ,now it turns over but no firing.
I hope its only water in the fuel, but i want a little help on this if anyone has had a similiar problem. How hard is it to bleed out the b2400 and change the fuel filter ect.

i have a b2400, and have never had that problem. was the fuel old? i mean could it have been summer fuel? if it was you might have a case of diesel fuel gelling, there are additives for that. never had to change my filter or bleed ithe system, but don't think it would be that much of a problem. but if your tank is still full of water laden fuel u are not going to be much better.

Just pulled the fuel filter out. Totally full of water with some ice.
Drained some fuel till it came out tan and bled the air out and finally got it running.
Ill never get fuel there again.

Timcom,

The fuel line on the B2400 will bleed itself. I don't quite understand how, but that's what my manual says. Sounds like you fixed the problem.

Enjoy your seat time.
