I like your nerve to tackle and fix the problem. If there were more equipment owners like yourself, maybe if the equipment manuals were more detailed, the equipment owners would be in a position to better maintain their equipment,

[@nmh1980.]

I had this same issue on my 5065E and your vlog showed me the way. Thanks!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

so glad this helped ya!! Such a silly place for a darn inline filter...but they know better than me for sure!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good repair. And I laughed when you cleaned the filter then shook it like a thermometer. I thought to myself "yeah he's a nurse" lol. Enjoyed the video👍

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

ever taste diesel fuel? Or slobber lol...both are pretty nasty bhahahahaha

[@stumphead4885]

A friend of mine who is a diesel truck driver over-the-road driver told me years ago that the diesel we purchase is crap. He owned his truck and he told me he always uses Lucas gas and diesel treatment. 1 qt. per 100 gallons. I have been using it since then and no fuel issues. I have 3 diesel engines and no problems.

[@toonybrain]

Stump Head I’ve heard much good about Lucas products as well.

From one Vet to another, glad you got your tractor straightened out...great video....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@draculadintei5013]

Thank you, I had the same issue with my 5045, I just blowed air into the tank, but sometimes it stills having the same problem and I blow air again. Now you gave me the solution. Great chanel! Greetings from Argentina!

[@concert610]

I had the same problem with my John Deere 5055. Made a video of it as well. I removed that filter element and replaced it with a 3/8" inline fuel filter, like a Fram G3. You would be surprises at the lack of information out there to keep our tractors working. Glad to see more people sharing their experiences and fixes. 🙂 Keep up the videos.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks buddy

[@jsdny1]

Same thing happened with my 5065E, I did the same thing you did. I now put diesel clear additive in every fill up. I also changed the fuel filter, the main cause was the inline fuel strainer within the tank.

[@deanmoore3776]

Good job I had problems with them fuel filters in the tank before awesome job

[@hammyh1165]

We had the same problems on both our JD tractors , the local JD mechanics that service our machines didn't know about the in tank filters. We cleaned them ourselves. Ours was caused by water entering our old plastic tank , replaced it with a new 1500litre tank and all sorted

[@davidsackett5817]

Thanks for the video. Had the EXACT problem on my JD 5075e this weekend. You saved me hours of time and hundreds of dollars.

[@semco72057]

I am glad that you found the problem and I definitely would replace that filter if I was you so that problem don't come up again for a long time. I have a John Deere 790 tractor without a front bucket and a 3032E tractor with a bucket and so far I have not had major problems with either of them. The 790 tractor had one problem with a fuel line which I replaced and it was back in action.

[@botabob]

My Dad had a similar problem with his JD 2210. He used Power Services bio kleen and has not had any problem with the slime plugging his lines and filter since.

[@michaelmactavish1728]

my buddy never had that problem on his kubota m tractor wich he had it for 50 years wich still had orgional parts wich pretty good

[@floydfarms1578]

Glad the tip during the live stream helped and you were able to get running again!

[@timhood6970]

Howse additive works great for this plus helps lubricate the engine more since all diesel is low sulfur now, I use it every time I fill up my tractor with fuel!

[@diydanvapes]

Oh man. Love the vid josh!! Love when you teach us lessons like this

[@jonathanbreeding1390]

Hey bud my neighbor had the same problem with his jd it was amazing how dirty it was but we got it fixed and it runs great now.

[@jamesappello386]

Josh, definitely need to use a biocide additive with your fuel. Also, they make water absorbing socks to place in the filler-neck hang from the chain to absorb any water.

[@starnesfarm1780]

We always took the small tank screen out and put a in line filter in to eliminate that problem.

[@levicreswell47]

Had the same problem on a 2017 3032. No screen on mine so it just plugged the fitting. Video still very helpful, thank you

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad it helped

[@brentgrote2735]

Thanks for posting this. Exactly my problem with a newer 5045 and now back running with no power loss.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad it helped

[@larrymoore6640]

Glad you found the problem and was able to do a quick temporary fix. Personally I think there is a engineering design problem also. There was enough room to put a filter/cutoff valve assy outside the tank.

[@my4everhome]

Have a great Sunday

[@joeh4295]

I have a JD 4310, thankfully the full filter is easy to get to and change out. Happy veterans day brother 👨‍✈️🇺🇲 I've also used Lucas treatment in my diesel fuel, it helps.

[@haroldswick9962]

Great bid . The older JD tractors had 2 fuel filters back to back. This caused much better filtration of fuel.

[@y2kxj]

I have cleaned many tanks on equipment,, just pull off the drain and line,, drain fuel and pressure wash the inside. Then blow dry with dry with compressed air or a leaf blower..

[@fixitbrokeitfixit]

done this on lawn equipment and you think you got it all out, nope. then you have problems running until all the water gets out of the gas or fuel. Just another can of worms.

[@CobraDriver07]

I had the same issue, removed the plastic filter altogether, installed an inline JD fuel filter about 1 foot down from fuel tank and problem solved. Plus you can remove the JD inline filter when you want, wash it out with water, let dry, re-install....forever. The JD filter does not need replacing, just cleaning/washing.

You can do away with that filter and install a in line. I had to do the same on mine and many others when I was working for the john deere dealer

[@inthesticks3521]

Seems like it’s always something small. Glad you worked it out. Great videos👍

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep...the thorn in the tiger's paw

[@jasone9]

Josh, you should consider getting a 275 gallon tank like is used for a fuel oil furnace and have your farm fuel delivered. It will cost a little more, but you will have a single source for fuel and you will eliminate fuel runs.

[@brianmeattey4151]

Amen on the fix bro good to know on that I would have never thought there was a filter in tank but thx for showing and godbless

[@bcgrittner]

Not too difficult. I have seen issues like this before. Good job, Josh.

Thanks so much for the information Brother. I always enjoy learning at someone else's expense :) I have a 5055E, and will be doing this proactively as soon as I get my diesel levels down a bit.

[@Dirtydigger]

I’m having the same problem that was going to be my next step. Thanks for the information.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Boom! Now ya know! I use diesel power service in every tank now...here's a link to my amazon affiliate page, I use it in every tank, truck and tractor: amzn.to/41MPIaH (case of it worth every penny!)

[@bwburkhalter]

The best way to avoid that type of fuel issue is to use a transfer tank with an extra fuel filter in line. I have an old 50 gallon B truck saddle tank with a GPI 12V pump with the LD in line cartridge/ canister filter. It stops 90% of trash getting into the tank. If water is a problem then they have a special waterblock element that I Know Works well.

[@jacqueduck3013]

Great Job My JD 5045 has the same setup on the inline fuel filter, Thanks!

[@stevemc3265]

I have had problems like you had in the past. One thing I am a beliver in now is running diesel fuel treatment in the fuel. I use John Deere winter fuel treatment year round in mine and have had no issues for several years now.

[@davidnorthrup3674]

Well done. I have 2 suggestions for you that might help. One, if you don't already have one. Get a set of nut drivers, the will save you a lot of work with those hose clamps. The second and probably more important, get a in line water separator filter to put on the outlet of your tank in the truck. This will help to make sure that you are feeding your tractors good fuel. Take care!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

David you make a good point...I'm actually working on a video called "The Psychology of the Screwdriver"....this will detail why I went with the screwdriver v/s the nut driver..I have both and agree with you...but for some reason I still went with the screwdriver lol

[@jeffperry9274]

Josh use this product in your fuel it will clean the screen of alge and sludge it's called diesel kleen

[@thomasarussellsr]

Always look to your local (most local) truck-stop for ideas and fixes too. Diesel-kleen is great for cleaning algae and bio-sludge from the fuel system. As I don't farm, not sure if it is available at tractor shops or farm stores, but it should clean your system with no more than we saw in the bucket. Good luck, stay safe, and we'll see you on the next video.

[@bradleyschroeder1738]

I would reccomend using some of that hotshots secrect you used in your pickup, also when fueling any piece of equipment, especially out of a can, we use those cheap disposable paint filters in the bottom of a funnel

My father in law has the same model & we’ve had that issue twice. It took over a year for it to happen the second time. The lowest portion of the tank is maybe a half inch below the bottom edge of the filter and debris collects there.

[@christopherboyd4538]

Put a couple of fuel filters on your transfer thank should help from that happening

[@ronneitzel2869]

good stuff buddy, thank you

[@salecreekrs7804]

This is a common problem with bio- diesel blend. Use a quality diesel fuel additive with each fill up also add it to your storage container at fill up. make sure the additive is also a lubricant to replace the sulfur in older equipmen like the MF 65

[@72sarge]

Visit a auto paint supply store, they should have the disposal large filters that will fit your funnel.

[@terrymangum3914]

Enjoyed the video Josh. Very good information.

[@doubletee5250]

If you use a lot of diesel, it's worth getting a fuel polisher. Should be able to get one for less than $500. Saves time and money long term. Split it with you stepdad.

[@remb9614]

I have that same watch it’s my favorite! You have good taste sir 👍

[@PapaRug.58]

Algae has been an issue here in Alberta Canada as well If you have a good hotsy pressure washer you can flush tank out at home just drain really well flush it out and refill with clean diesel also a treatment of biocide as others have suggested will help

[@jws6682]

Another awesome video by the stoney ridge farmer I love this channel

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks J

[@crystalclarity6766]

Just found your channel & I like. One thing: Brake cleaner eats green paint right off your tractor. Suggest keeping it away from any painted surfaces you may wish to remain painted. Wooooo!

[@dailylife6432]

Everything I have that runs on diesel I run run a additive in the fuel to disapate the water, I also installed inline water and trash seperaters. This allows me to eliminate the in tank filter, where it starts. Then if I have problems I can look into the glass bowl to check and if need change the filters. This guarantees that it won't make it to the pump or engine, which could be very expensive. Good luck.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Well...almost 5 years of fuel put in this tractor and this is the first issue. You make a great point...for sure all the fuel put in every tractor I've got is filtered before and after it's added to the tank...sometimes there's no winning! Grrr frustrating for sure

[@williamburke09]

Sometimes Deere likes to hide strainers in the injection pumps as well. Out of site.

[@steveb6103]

Bio diesel will do this if not used quickly enough. I'm guessing it's a 20% blend. Had a truck that wasn't used over the summer and the tank was full of algae. That was 80 gallons gone to waste. And the inline filter is always a good idea!

[@chrisaldridge3326]

Josh you probably should have flushed the tank with fresh fuel before putting the valve back on.

[@terrydown5389]

Another really good vlogg some really good advise and tips god bless from terry uk

[@keylargo2001]

John Deere has a flaw in their fuel tank design. That filter should be about 2 inches or so off the bottom of the tank to allow for settlement and sludge to settle in. All diesel truck tanks have their pickup tubes several inches off the bottom and most of the time they are on level ground. Not like a tractor were it is running on rough terrain most of it's life were the fuel is sloshing back and forth.

Hello from New Mexico

[@stanwooddave9758]

Hi Josh. Great video. If you want to reuse that fuel (their's no reason not to,) use two or three (paper Automotive Paint, very fine mesh,) Paint strainers. Use the paper strainer's, inside a plastic fuel funnel.) If I remember, correctly that mesh ( (paper Automotive Paint Strainers) works out to 8 microns or less filtering. I think a human hair (0.004(ish) inches.) is much thicker, just to give some scale.

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

You can reuse the fuel you took out just use a funnel with a filter in it to catch the trash in the fuel. The funnel we use to put fuel in our tractor has a filter in the bottom. It slows down the speed of filling but you catch all the trash. It dose not work on water or any moisture in the fuel.
