My 1720 stopped running last night, seemed starved for fuel.
Found a filter at napa today (!) and yikes, the old filter was gloppy dirty.
Was so bad fuel would barely drip out of the line.
Blew air through the line and into the tank, and its all going now.
But.......
Obviously there is issues in the tank.
I know aBout the algae stuff, in fact I treated my bulk tank and stuff a year ago, and it his looks like dust dirt, not algae. I don't recall leaving the
cap off, so I'm thinking I better stock up on extra filters for the combine and big tractors until I figure this out.....
So, is there a screen inside the tank, and how does one clean up a tractor fuel tank? With the offset neck they have, can't even look into the
tank with a light, and the entire dash and sheet metal is surrounding the tank......
Yea, I'm looking for an 'easy' button........
