Little saftey tip for you when tramming the loader over any distance, always tram with bucket crowded back so if in the event of a hydraulic failure and the boom suddenly drops, it reduces the risk of the bucket digging into the ground and potentially sending you through the windscreen or another reason being if you have a power loss or break failure you can lower the bucket down onto the heel plates to slow and stop the machine safely.

Hey, I just thought I'd explain what that HEET is doing to the water in your diesel (for anyone who sees this and cares). HEET contains alcohols that act as what's called a co-solvent. So, diesel and alcohol are miscible (you can mix them in any concentration; they stay mixed and don't separate into layers) water and alcohol are also miscible, but water and diesel can only tolerate tiny amounts of each other before they separate into layers (like me and the inlaws). But if you add some alcohol to the diesel, you can get the water and the diesel to mix together long enough to go through the fuel filter and burn. The water just gets harmlessly released as steam out the tailpipe with the rest of the water that's formed from combustion. Chemistry!

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Righto! : ) Isopropyl alcohol, aka "rubbing alcohol" - something tells me that isopropyl alcohol sold in bottles with "HEET" labels on them cost significantly more per fl oz than this very same stuff sold in drugstores as "rubbing alcohol". It is sometimes used as industrial solvent, which should be even cheaper.

[@jamesdough6406]

Another tip for when faced with unexpected fuel problems. You can use a 4% mixture of "white" gas (a.k.a: modern unleaded) upto a maximum of 10%. Don't go wild, at 10% you can start D9 cats in -60F. Been there, done that (Barter Island, AK).

[@ferebeefamily]

Hi Matt, As a rag-sailor, when I buy an old boat, the very first thing I do is put a sounding tube to the bottom of the fuel tank, and then using a small PAR hand pump, I take a sample to see what kind of dirt and how much water is down there waiting to clog filters or injector nozzles. You probably have the same problems with old diesel powered equipment. Does anyone put waterproof grease on the filler cap threads to keep all water (rain, or sea) from getting into the fuel tank? If your machine sat for 20 years, with a half full tank of fuel you'll have lots of condensed water caused by the fuel tank breather tube breathing in outside air as the temperatures change day / night / and with the seasons, that a sounding tube will quickly reveal. If that is the case, and you find dirt and water at the bottom of the fuel tank, pumping it out with the sounding tube is a big first step. At least you now know that you have clean fuel in your fuel tank. Cheers, Connie

[@matthewpratt1635]

Several years ago I needed 7000# of crushed stone. I took my F250 and 10K rated utility trailer with 2x12 side boards in the stake pockets to the local Marten-Marietta quarry.

That operator, had scales on his bucket ,and was able to place the exact amount in the center of my trailer, no issues.

[@steved2136]

Very common with quarries that sell to the public- I had one here that put almost exactly a tonne in the ute and 1800 in the trailer- he was able to fill both loads with under half a scoop- yet his scales and the weighbridge at the gate agreed to the kilogram...

Don’t know much about these machines but on our old buses there’s not just the two fuel filters to filter the fuel, there are several small ones in the fuel line and one bigger one on the fuel tank. That’s the first one in the whole fuel line, the two filters you changed are the last ones. Most of the time the one on the tank catches the roughest dirt, the others allong the line catch finer dirt. The smaller ones in the line have fine copper mesh in it and due to new diesel without sulfer, the copper will slowly dissolve and clog up the system. So what we do first, regardless new fuel or not, is clean the tank and replace the small inline filters or, if this is not possible on site, run the engine on a separate tank with new fuel and new filter pots.

Hey Matt. Diesel fuel will be attracted by fungus and eat diesel fuel. For long term storage you have to add a biocide to keep the bugs from sliming up the tank. The bugs digest the diesel making a black slime and acidic water that will rust the tank bottom. Best best is to drain the tank, clean ‘er up, and decant the good diesel form the crud and mix it with fresh fuel. Give it a dose of your favorite diesel fuel conditioner and I bet it will start better next winter.
