Thanks so much for your time to share with everyone your video thanks to you my tractor is up and running good I've fought mine for a week or so watching videos and calling people and no one else has a video like yours step by step clear view of everything and understanding thank you thank you
We have a Diesel storage tank. It got moved to a position where it was leaning forward and the next fill up of our excavator had a remarkable amount of water. Overwhelmed 2 water blocker filters coming from the storage tank 1000 gallons, the water Seperator & filter on the Kubota U35. Followed these steps and she is purring like a kitten. My breath smells of diesel but I am smilin'. Thanks again.
Prevention is to always keep fuel tank full. Especially if it sits for long periods. My 2001 Kioti had water in the system. I saw it when I changed the filter. Ran fuel out before attaching new filter, but made mistake of trying to start it before bleeding lines. I didn’t know how. So thanks for the tutorial. I’ll see if this helps.
My L2350DT got a hole in the rubber fuel line. I have to bleed the pump and at the fuel injectors. Oddly my fuel cap is flush w the top of the hood (?). It too is hard to put the gas cap on. Maybe the spout to the tank on yours is not seated or broken and letting water in. Thanks for posting up the video, I'll prob replace the fuel filter and do the entire system bleed as you have shown. Thanks again.
Thanks for the refresher course, It's been a while. One word of caution. Don't burn up your starter while cranking it too much. Otherwise you'll have another unwanted project and out a hundred bucks. Cheers.
Truely an excellent video on bleeding the problem away. Great job and thank you for sharing. Best of luck to you and hopefully your efforts fixed the problem.
I got that much water out of an old L345 with a fuel tank less than half full. We had a big weather change to warm and humid. The tractor was in a shed and I’m sure no one messed with it - just condensation. I’ve been messing with it and my mistake was I’d been opening a petcock on the injector pump instead of the bypass/bleed screw. I’ve ordered a Derale 13070 fuel filter mount and big filter with a drain cock on the bottom. I’ll make draining the filter part of my startup procedure. And I’ll try to keep the tank full!
thks great video think I got same issue in my skid steer with kabota engine..already cleaned tank and hose to fuel filter so now gona bleed injector lines like you did thks again
I’m not a mechanic but I own a b series Kubota. I had trouble with filters freezing in winter (in PA). I asked some one knowledgeable where the water could come from. He explained that the fuel system in modern vehicles are a loop from tank to engine and back to tank via the return line. So, fuel may be cold in the tank and it gets pumped up to warm engine. If not needed, warm fuel returns to tank and mixes with cold fuel. This continuous cycle of mixing causes condensation in the tank. I said I have a lot of water in the tank. He said you’re going to get a lot because of the loop in the fuel system. I installed a fuel/water separator designed for a diesel marine application and it solved my problem but I have to remember to open the tap and drain the water bowl monthly. It doesn’t stop the condensation but it catches the water and provides a way to get it out of the loop. Worked for me. 🥸👍👀✅
Wix filters are really good. If you cut one open and a Fram beside one another you can see a clear difference in the filters. That is a Ton of water! Diesel engines for some reason have that problem a lot. Most have water separator filters on them. I wonder if you could put one on there before it hits the main filter. I think it may be condensation when the humidity is really high. Something to do with a diesel though because when my dad has a shop in the 80s there were a lot of 70s diesel cars (Oldsmobile, Cadilac etc..) they had the same problem a lot.
Hi Tony, First and watching! That is a shame Tony, I hope it wasn't sabotage, I think I would be thinking of anyone I knew, even if the cap wasn't tight tight you shouldn't have had that much water, yes, it was yellow almost like water downed orange juice, water is in your engine, Let it run and push out any water that maybe in there! Sure happy you have your Kubota back, Great Job!
I have the same problem on my bobcat e32. Going to tackle this today. Only issue I have is draining the fuel from the tank, might have to pump it out since it’s lower then the engine. Are there drain plugs on fuel tanks?
A LOT of water! You ever considered a fuel pre-filter that traps water before entering into the main fuel filter? If it got in once, it'll get in again.
I have the same problem. I have drained the fuel tank, changed filters and I'm still getting water coming out. I'm going to drain it again and put some denatured alcohol in it to see if that will clean it up.
I'm assuming you put a new fuel filter on it.There is a bleed bolt on top of your filter housing. Take it loose And it should bleed out at least to your filter.
I forgot there is a bleeder bolt on the injector pump also. Let that gravity bleed to. If you do what I did on my video it should work. Make sure your battery is fully charged. Open only one line at a time on the injector until fuel comes out then do the next one. And then the 3rd one it should be running by now
@lucasf6495 The only other thing I can say is it had contaminants or water in the injection pump, and it's pitted or sticking. You probably need to pull the pump and have it looked at.
My company has a zero turn kubota. Our entire tank got water in it somehow. To be sure someone didn’t add water from a gas jug. Dude did cut the grass in the rain the other day but dang. No way to drain it except from fuel line on top
I have the exact same tractor. I live in Deep East Texas where we get a LOT of rain annually. I leave my tractor outside most of the year and have NEVER had that kind of water in my Diesel. Either you got a bad batch of diesel from the station or sadly, someone put water in your tank. BTW...I really like that ROPS mounted canopy. Do you know the manufacturer of that?
That is a good thought but i think it had over 1/2 a tank off fuel and almost got half gallon of water out of it. Sad part it ran perfect about 10 day earlier with no problems. Thanks for watching and giving some input on it. be safe out there.
Great video. I had gotten air in my fuel lines of my 1970s Kubota when I changed out my fuel filter and this video got me going again. Thank you
Glad it helped
Great video!! You saved my tractor walking me through the steps after I put fuel in that sat around and got water in it!! It's running again!
Good to hear glad it was able to help you out you have a great day

If the machine stalls out, could there be damage to the fuel pump, injectors, etc?

Thanks my little kubota has been down all summer. Trying to start it now. Thanks again.
Hope it helped and got the little girl going

I would and thanks for watching
very good video and great details as you went through each task.
Thanks, a lot!!
Your welcome and hope it helped you.
Great tutorial way to save a ton of money doing things yourself I am completely clueless when it comes to engines
Thanks for watching
Good video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video! Appreciated!!

Thanks for watching should be easy.
Love it. Thanks for making it look so easy. Unfortunately, I have to do it too. But it looks doable. Thanks to your video.
You can do it!
Excellent video….thanks

Are there drain plugs on fuel tanks?
IDK my be remove fuel line to drain tank
Bro those squitoes tearing him up 🦟
Im on the ground 🤣😂😂😂
But a great video frfr lol 💪🏾
@@ogedwardreeves2942 thanks for watching
That sucks big time Tony, but glad you got it running.
Me too
A LOT of water!
You ever considered a fuel pre-filter that traps water before entering into the main fuel filter?
If it got in once, it'll get in again.
Ya i should put one on. Thanks
🇨🇱 very informative, I hope it all works out. Water can be a blessing and a curse. 🇨🇱
you got that right. have a good day
Where is your ‘water separator/filter’?
My tractor didn't come with one. I have looked into adding one on.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you x3.
No problem
I have the same problem. I have drained the fuel tank, changed filters and I'm still getting water coming out. I'm going to drain it again and put some denatured alcohol in it to see if that will clean it up.
After i drained it and added little more and that seem to clean it out. Good luck
How did you get the center injector off? I can’t get my wrench on it!
I used a old wrench and ground down the side so it does fit in there. Once you break it lose it will be easy. Good luck
Tony I don’t know squat about this issue but based on the other comments it looks like the issue can be fixed!
I have this same tractor it’s been sitting 6 years and I can’t get the injectors to bleed
I'm assuming you put a new fuel filter on it.There is a bleed bolt on top of your filter housing. Take it loose And it should bleed out at least to your filter.

Open only one line at a time on the injector until fuel comes out then do the next one. And then the 3rd one it should be running by now
I put a new filter on and everything and blended it the way you showed in the video one at a time but it’s won’t bleed at the injectors
And I gravity bleed the filter and injection pump to
@lucasf6495 The only other thing I can say is it had contaminants or water in the injection pump, and it's pitted or sticking. You probably need to pull the pump and have it looked at.
Ohhh my goodness that’s a lot of water!
Ya had me thinking
My company has a zero turn kubota. Our entire tank got water in it somehow. To be sure someone didn’t add water from a gas jug. Dude did cut the grass in the rain the other day but dang. No way to drain it except from fuel line on top
Than ks for watching

Either you got a bad batch of diesel from the station or sadly, someone put water in your tank. BTW...I really like that ROPS mounted canopy. Do you know the manufacturer of that?
Couple days later I checked my security camera and seen someone walking over with a container heading to the tractor. No I don't know it
Oh fun
oh a blast. lol
I'd guess the fuel was contaminated from the source. Either your can or the station that sold it...
One of my cameras has a neigbor walk toward to tractor i confronted him about it and walked away.
I hate it when water gets in the tank. It's always a pain
Ya and it always happens at the wrong time. lol
@@OurCabinInThewoods right
If you used red off road fuel it would be better for everyone
Just curious, why would that make a difference?
It’s not the rain, it’s condensation. I’m betting your tractor sat near empty of fuel and that fuel was not treated.
That is a good thought but i think it had over 1/2 a tank off fuel and almost got half gallon of water out of it. Sad part it ran perfect about 10 day earlier with no problems. Thanks for watching and giving some input on it. be safe out there.
The water probably was in the fuel when you bought it, that what happened to me .
Possible thanks for watching.
Need to get you a cheap security camera. Lots of water.
Yes we have installed eight different security cameras on the property now
Didn't be sorry for the long videos I kind of like them.
I did not get in by itself
You’d look good in a Subaru ….Ha Ha!
lol Thanks
Boy. You can’t hardly kill a Kubota engine.
Thank god it runs good
You talk to much and do less
