Ran out of fuel

[Dave S]

We finally got the L245dt up and running and was planning on working on a clients property, yesterday we ran out of fuel, ugh, I called my Kubota guy and he walked me through the bleeding process, She started up and I let it run for awhile but it's running rough and won't idle. It ran great before so I know it's from running out. What's my next step ? I'm hearing conflicting info on the injector cleaners, and bringing it to the Kubota mechanic isn't an option at this point, any help would be great..
thanks
Dave

Bleed the injectors, with it running crack the fitting loose on each of the injectors. Do this one at a time until it quits bubbling.

Ditto to what E/S said. Sounds like there's still some air trapped in there somewhere.

Have the RPM up to about 1000-1200 while bleeding.

I've done that on my L185DT and bleeding the injectors helped except for the last time that I did this. Bleed the injectors or at least tired too and could not get much flow. Went to the fuel filter and bleed it. Still not much flow. Went to the tank just to make sure no one had turned the shut off valve the the off position. There was some debris in the tank that gotten sucked up against the valve. Opening and closing and then opening it again did the trick. Of course now it was full of fuel and in the middle of July and the project to clean out the tank had to wait til later
