L3300 new fuel pump, won't start

[Streetmedik]

I got the manual from you. It is on the pc at home.... I'll read more when I get there. Just frustrating because it is slowing down things at work. Small company, just 4 of us.. Two of which are high school kids.

From this we can assume that B5 and B20 are the percentages of B100 which has been blended with fossil fuel.

Biodiesel can be used in its pure form (B100) or blended with petroleum diesel. Common blends include B2 (2% biodiesel), B5, and B20.

In Oregon, most States I believe, you get B5 whether it's bulk (dyed, on road or heating oil) or at the pump. B20 stations will have it posted in larger letters. B20 is cheaper here than B5. I've been told there is no highway tax on the Bio portion as the reason although I find that hard to believe. On the repeated advice of an "over the road" truck mechanic I started using an additive and also put biocide in my bulk tank since I don't go through it that quickly.

There isn't really any choices on diesel in this small town. I can only get what is sold here.

Can we please return to the issue of getting my Kubota rinnung? Should I pull the injectors and try soaking them in some cleaner? Should I just keep flushing/purging the lines? We are a small shop with limited resources. Really need the tractor running.

Pull the injector and disassemble it.
Flush all ports with and surfaces with brake parts cleaner, use a soft cloth with the brake part cleaner to remove any grime.
Do not use anything abrasive.
Air dry, reassemble then reinstall, bleed lines, then you should be able to get it to start.

It is alive!!!! It runs better than before it died. Also changed oil and filter today

Thanks for the help. I would attach a video of it running. But can't seem to do that

so was it the injector?

I was going to pull the injectors this morning. But, thought I would try one more time first.

Turned on glow plugs, opened the throttle. Hit the switch.

Fired up with a big belch of black smoke . Runs better than before she quit.

So, since Gertrude the Kubota is running again, I rewarded her with new oil filter and fresh Rotela oil.

I was going to post a video of her running, but can't seem to attach a video from an old iPhone.
