This can be exceptionally frustrating, but as others have said, it may be your fuel source. The neighbor and I had a combine together. All of a sudden we started plugging up the sediment bowl screen with “crap” and getting a little water in it too. (Not good on a diesel). Well, seemed that it got worse when we filled at the one place than at the other. We both started observing very closely our fuel filling procedures to find out what was going on. Finally figured out that one of us was dropping fuel from a nearby gravity tank into his larger electric one (no filter on the pump) sometimes while filling the combine with the electric pump. We figured that this was stirring up the fuel in the big tank and suspending small particles of crap in the fuel which was being pumped directly into the combine. Once a filter was added on the electric pump our sediment bowl screen problems went away.
