L2501 water in fuel

[Kcotten]

I took my L2501 in for repair because it was losing power and sputtering when the engine gets hot. I did everything I could possibly try without voiding the warranty before taking it back to the dealer. It constantly gets water in the fuel system and 1 of the 3 injector ports is not pumping. Tractor has 200 hrs on it and has been acting up for almost a year. Well, they drained the fuel and tried to tell me it was fixed. I went to the dealer and got the owner and mechanic outside to ask questions and we found that there was water in the fuel again, before it had even left their shop. We all agreed that there was a leak in the tank and the injector pump was most likely damaged from all the water. Well 3 weeks later they told me it was fixed and I could come pick it up. After asking questions they said it had not gotten any more water in the tank and they had looked at the injectors and they were fine. They did not replace the tank or the pump. Needless to say I am gearing up for a fight with Kubota. Anyone else had the water issue?

I would change where you are getting your fuel from.
My guess is the have watering there fuel tanks

You can install a water separator on the fuel line out of the tank.

You can also use a funnel to remove water from the fuel you put into the tank like a Mr. Filter

Models

If you get one get a higher flow rate version and some method to dispose of a few ounces of water and fuel left in the bottom of the filter

I wish that was the case. I drained the fuel before I took it to the dealer. It sat at their shop a week before they looked at it. They drained the fuel and said it was fixed. When I went to pick it up 2 weeks later it had water in the tank again. Kubota mechanic said it had to be rainwater and they would warranty the tank and injector pump. 4 weeks later they called and said it was repaired. Says they cleaned the injectors and no more water has gotten in the tank since last time. Never changed the tank. They’re full of bullch!t or incompetence, or both.

It is very obvious that you actually have two problems.
A water problem,....... and a dealer problem!
