--repeatedly. The hose comes off the rear of the pump and connects to a small, plastic canister.
Tractor has 290 hours; serial # M7040D 83068.
Did the same last winter and I had the dealer make a service call. He reconnected the hose and changed the fuel filter. Didn't know why it blew. The water separator's red disk was (and still is) at the bottom of the cup. Fuel is treated with Power Service.
The engine continues to run at all rpm's after the hose blows off but will not start after it's turned off.
Temperatures have been daytime teens and 10F or so at night for the past week, but the tractor wasn't started until yesterday afternoon after a day of high 30's.
Any idea what causes the hose to blow?
Any harm done if I reconnect it? Another $300-plus service call seems like a waste for a temporary fix and not even a guess as to the cause.
What's the function of the little green/white plastic canister that the hose is connected to? There are a few of them in the same vicinity.
