<p>On the subject of filters. My 2000 Ford F-150 4wd gase 5.7liter
was my first and last drug confiscation truck. It had sat outside
the Stephens County jail and it appeared that someone had dumped
sand in the gas tank. It also had never had the oil changed for 8
years while the county abused it, a story for another time. The
injectors kept plugging up with a very fine stuff like rust. I
changed the fuel filter several times and found nothing in it. I
put 3 sets of injectors in it before ordering a fuel tank from
Amazon and when I changed it I found a pound of sand in the tank.
It was taking the rust off the inside of the tank and plugging the
injectors. The filter is a 10 micron filter, but the injectors
are 2 micron with a 5 micron screen in the injector
connection..... Why put a final fuel filter in a system that
allows particles 5 times larger than the part you are trying to
protect???<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

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 .<o:p></o:p></p>

; 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 .
