I have a Kubota l245h that has been running fine until the other day I was cultivating carrots and black dieselish liquid started running out of the exhaust stack. I thought it was oil at first but I'm pretty sure it was diesel with soot mixed in. It spattered a little onto the hood but mostly ran down the stack.
Today I took the injectors apart and cleaned them, changed the oil and filters. The fuel filter had lots of gunk in it. I let the line run for a bit and some more gunk came out. Let it run till not much more came out and put new filter on and bled the lines. It fired up and sounded much better than before. I ran it for about 30 min. It ran great but still had some black liquid coming out the stack. No splatter on the hood but it was steadily oozing down the stack. I'm not sure if this is just leftover from before or if I didn't fix the problem. It starts fine and runs fine but I don't want diesel getting into the oil or for something bigger to go wrong and leave me stranded.
I'm thinking I might need to have the injectors tested/replaced but I'm not sure what that costs. The #2 injector was a little sticky when I took it apart. Any advice is much appreciated.
Oh I forgot to add that this happened after filling the tank with green diesel. Before it had off road in it. Might just be a coincidence.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
