I have a 2000 TL-70 with 2000 hours. It breaks down every 20 to 30 hours. First looses power and black smoke. Than stalls.
It took years to realize filters were clogged so quick.
A)replaced all fuel lines.
B) added fuel treated, although own numerous other diesel equipment that have no issues.
C) replaced lift pump with electric pusher pump 18psi
E) removed plastic fuel tank and checked for obstructions and dirt. Very clean, but recleaned.
E) sent injector pump out for rebuild. Re builder found no problem and stated, pump is as it should be.
F) Tractor has a loader. Very hard to change filters. I relocated with larger,low priced Fram fuel filters, and located in a simple area to change. To my surprise, they only lasted 25-hours.
G) put fuel pressure gauge after filters. Brand new filters have 8-psig before injector pump. After 10 hours drops to 3-psig.
H) very little fuel goes back to tank.
I) It was impossible to bleed bottom of filters prior to re-locating. I can do it now, but so far have not. I did not think that would cause the filters to clog that quick ?
Thanks in Advance.
Runs excellent every time I change the filters. With the electric fuel pump ! I leave the key on until see the fuel pressure gauge at max. (filled filters before installed). I still need to spray starting fluid , but will restart quickly.
