We are definitely seeing more problems over here, Plus we have the paramilitaries/terrorists who are 'laundering' diesel. Not only are they using sulphuric acid and dear knows what else to take the red dye out of Ag diesel, but they are putting the residue back into the Ag diesel! My wife bought diesel for her car one Sunday night from a leading supermarket petrol pump, Monday morning she phoned me from 1 mile down the road....the car would not go over 20 mph. It cost us £900 to fix the pump!. We allvhave had to fit diesel filters to the storage tank for the farm tractors to take out this new found diesel algae. A few years ago I went to mow for my friend using a front rear mowing system, taking in 30ft. I was using a New Holland tractor and had to change the diesel filter 5 times in one day!(150 acres) On fuel usage, I always have run Massey Ferguson tractors, because of the fuel savings above all else with the Perkins engines. Last spring I went to power harrow with my mate during his real busy time. We both started at 6.00 am with the same harrows on each tractor, working in tandem. At 3.00pm he asked if I needed diesel....my gauge was still showing half full. he filled 4x 5 gallom drums into his New Holland. At 8 pm he had his wife bring the bowser to the field and he agin asked if I needed fuel, but I did not. I finished at 10pm and drove 8 mile home! All on a 40 gallon tank. His tanks are larger and his tractor is common rail, mine is not....our car is the same on fuel usage it will do nearly 55mpg, but it goes like a racing car and when you drive it that way the mpg will drop way back to about 20mpg! A neighbour is running 9 John Deeres. He is really complaining about his new fleet of 30 series....he absolutely loved the 10 series, had many issues with the 20 series and this new range is breaking him on diesel usage......save the ozone and deplete the fuel supply! Seems the new Masseys are also not as economical since we went tier 4 though this ad blue system is supposed to help, time will tell.....Just like JDseller, I hope I do not need to change for a while!

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
