I was hoping someone could help me with some problems. I just bought a used Zen Noh L1500D. I have never owned a tractor before and don't know much about them. I was trying to refuel it with diesel and noticed a plastic sleeve in the fuel tank. Do I add oil to the diesel fuel before refueling like a weedeater? Also, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a manual for this tractor? The guy I bought it from did'nt have any of the owners manuals or paperwork. I sure would appreciate any help. Thanks. email me at galvinm@eezznet.com

First off, Welcome Aboard TBN!!


Sorry can't help with the manuals. Did you try google searching?

On the fuel, please don't add any oil to it. Well, unless you want to fog for skeeters! I don't have a clue what a plastic sleeve in the fuel tank means. Can you post any pictures? With a pic, I'll bet someone here will be able to tell you exactly what is going on.

Welcome to TBN :D! I would add nothing to your diesel fuel except fuel stabilizer that is formulated for diesel fuel for long term storage purposes. There have been quite a few posts and threads regarding diesel fuel additives for water and "gunk" removal in the Oil. Fuel, and Lubricants Forum. Jay

only a guess, but the sleeve may be a filter screen. Welcome to TBN- lots of good information here!

If it's what I think it is, as someone mentioned, is a filter. I had a small Komatsu dozer and it had the same thing.

It's a filter to catch the big stuff. Leave it in there it really works.

The other posters are correct. My old Ford 1100 had a filter screen sleeve. They do work. Jay

Welcome, I'm new here also and the folks here are great.
If you are new to tractors, I have to suggest you learn tractor safety. They are like nothing else you have driven. Tractor safety will be the most important thing you learn. JMHO.
Good luck and take care.
