So I think I have some bad diesel. Tractor has been running fine, until I added 5 gallons of diesel Friday. Ran fine for 30 minutes or so, then runs rough and stalls out. Filter doesn’t have any water in it. The filter was dirty, so changed it On Saturday. Again, ran fine for about 30 minutes, now it’s rough and stalling again. The new filter still looks clean, and still don’t see any water in the bowl.
Bad diesel? I’d like to drain the tank, and start with fresh diesel from another station. But don’t see any drain. Is there an easy way to drain it? Siphon pump from fuel filler? A way to drain from the filter housing somehow that won’t dump it all over the ground?
Any other ideas besides the fuel? 99% sure it’s the fuel. But I suppose it could be something else. Thanks!
