I try to go online and get complete manuals for all of my equipment. Handy having them as  pdf's so that I can print the pages that I need.

I find the little owner's manuals these days are pretty poor.  But I also find many manufacturers make the full service manual available in PDF.

My mower’s manual is light on this information, no mention of number.  In fact, it says something like “if engine loses power, change the fuel filter”  no verbal hint of more than one.  In scheduled service, it only shows the location of the second filter.  Admittedly, the first filter isn’t that hard to find,  but you  do have to be looking for it.

Does the manual contain some kind of service schedule?  If so, does the schedule mention both filters?

Kubota engines with 2 fuel filters are not pervasive but also not rare.  I have a 23 HP Kubota front mower with two filters. One is close to the injector pump and there is also one not so obvious closer to the fuel tank.  Eventually the not so obvious one plugs and much more than one hair must be pulled from the head.  I personally didn’t pull enough hair and thought I needed to call Kubota mobile service which showed up with two different filters.  One more lesson learned.

You are saying this skid steer loader with Kubota engine has two fuel filters



Ivan AT List Member <ivancou at atlanticbb.net<mailto:ivancou at atlanticbb.net> No , I was told its a kubota in  a bobcat excavator .   I helped change the filter on the rear of the frame by the access door but evidently theres a second one .



James AT List Member and advocate of upgradeable tractor vocational training <jamesgpeck at hotmail.com<mailto:jamesgpeck at hotmail.com>;  This is on a Yanmar engine?



Ivan AT List Member <ivancou at atlanticbb.net<mailto:ivancou at atlanticbb.net> ; They got the excavator  running again , tracing the problem back to inline  screen in the fuel  system . They rigged  a auxiliary tank and it ran well so they loaded  it onto their trailer and took it back to the shop . Now that its  inside time to tear it apart and remove the tank and lines to clean  them out .     Just prior to this happening  Mathew had bought an old  fuel tank off a neighbor and set it outside the shop , previously they  had been using plastic cans .      Ivan
