Normally I'd be embarrassed but my Kubota means too much for such trifles.
Today I accidentally put 5 gal of gas into my new Kubota L3200. Filled the can 3 or 4 weeks ago and must have been distracted. Mea Culpa!!
Wasn't sure and after much internal struggle I decided I couldn't have been that stupid. But I was! After about 10 minutes of running the engine lost all torque, needed to be pushed to 2000 to gain any momentum, none of the implements worked well, sounded weird (like it had the flu or something.
So I shut it down, need to drain the tank. Found the inline fuel filter but that's got several attachments. The manual says nothing about draining the tank.
I can't be the first person to have done this. My dad ran tractors in South Dakota for 30 years. He said diesels run on damn near anything except molasses.
Does anyone out there run an L3200 (2014) and know how to easily drain the fuel tank.
Calling the dealer in the morning.....
