Yanmar Tractor Fuel Filter Replacement & Bleeding

[@udos48]

I am so thankful that you left these Videos online even after you sold your business. I applied this procedure on my YM 1720D today and the tractor is running again !

[@r.evanmiller1030]

Extremely helpful! I ordered some radiator hoses from you guys yesterday! Thought I'd watch other how to videos before I tackled the fuel filter. I'm good now!

[@duncanmacdonald3164]

Thank you so much for this. I wish I had watched it BEFORE I cleaned the filter. I thought the fuel pump would fill the sediment bowl but I was wrong and ran the tractor out of fuel. I had to bleed each injector twice, but this video saved me a service call which would have probably cost me in the neighborhood of $300. Great job posting this.

I'm very glad it was helpful.

Good evening, I have the same fuel filter setup on the 2TNE68-DM4 Yanmar engine of my Minicar. Although this tutorial is very helpful for a "first time" filter changing approach, having change myself this filter several times in the past, I have to point out 2 details that in this video have been overlooked: #1- in order to stop the fuel from coming out of the assy, you only have to turn the valve lever of 90°. if you turn it up to the next 180° your valve will remain open to the opposite position! #2- inside my filter cup there is also a spring that seats on the bottom and pushes agaist the filter cartridge by preventing it to detach from its insert. Last but none the least, there is no need in changing the whole cup and accessories at any filter replacement: it is enough to clean the sludge deposit with a cloth and rinse the cup with new clean diesel before reassembling it back.

These guys go bought out. SUCKS because the new owners could care less about us old Yanmar guys.

Thanks for video which was helpful as I changed a fuel filter on a Farmtrac 270 with a Daedong 3A139 engine (also found on Kioti and many other models) for the first time. In my setup, there is a spring that seats in the bottom of the fuel filter bowl. Its function is to ensure that the filter doesn't slip down off of the barb inside the fuel filter valve assembly. Fortunately for me I was paying close attention when I disposed of the microbe ridden fuel from the bowl. My bowl isn't transparent and I didn't expect to find a spring in there. Finally, you didn't mention lubricating the O-ring. I lubed mine with some petroleum jelly. Others recommend using a finger swipe of clean motor oil or simply the clean diesel fuel itself. Thanks again.

Your procedure worked perfect on a john deere 650 which has a Yanmar engine, Thanks

EXCELLENT VIDEO!! THANK YOU!!!

[@harrycurtis6045]

You only need to turn the shut-off valve 90 degrees to stop the flow of fuel. By turning it 180 you left it open.

[@tommyatkinson1309]

Love your video very good information worked perfect thanks

[@moytarango]

Awesome video, extremely helpful. I spend so much time looking for this. Thank you,

[@jenkie001]

Great video!!! My tractor ran out of fuel dnd now I know just where to start!!!! Thank you much

[@michaellizee4421]

Excellent video, thanks so much for your help!!!

[@johncollins8304]

Wish your video had found me two weeks ago! I don't have those two bleed screws on my filter assembly. What to do?

[@BotanicaDaySpa]

Thanks a lot, your video helped me sort my problem. Great stuff!!

[@markhammersmith8361]

At about the 5 :20 minute marker you talked about pulling the decompression lever. Could you clarify what you mean by that?

[@club704]

Is bleeding the injector lines also needed when replacing the filter, or only when you run out of fuel?

[@BlackKettleRanch]

Thank you so much for these tips. The fuel filter shut off valve on my JD 2305 tractor doesn't work. I hate it when the fuel leaks all over. It gets me so upset. Now, I know what to do. Thank you.

[@travisricks3436]

Do you still sell parts for the Yanmar tractors? What is your website?

[@teodociofortanel7882]

i there i have a 1988 john deere 750 with a 3 cylinder yanmar i have a question how much pressure the pump needs to have to start the engine?

[@Hillbillysniper]

when using the thermo start, should I remove the air cleaner?

[@Spiritrun-hf2vf]

On most water separators (i.e. Yanmar) there is a lock screw on top of the shut off valve. Loosening the screw allows the vale to work as it should. My sc2450 is 12 years old and I've never had a 'sticky' problem with the valve. Thus the lock screw is in place to compensate for vibration of the tractor and prevent the valve opening..."Ya think"!?!

[@qzorn4440]

great fuel info, thanks. :)

[@MrBallard6]

Did all of that. Now can't get any fuel. Thinking internal shutoff stuck closed. It was a little difficult to close then open . Now it turns a little easier. Think it broke in closed position.

[@peterlakers1]

what is the fuel pressure of your yanmar tractor

[@luisvelazquez5204]

Do you carry parts for a Mitsubishi D1450. Is not on your website .

[@HoyeTractor]

Sorry we do not. Only Yanmar.

[@janetgoldston9451]

Did not let fuel bow fill up before trying to bleed not won't start

[@chrisdebruyn4233]

You open the valve turning it like that. Thats why fuel is still coming out. Turn it a quarter turn. Like a ball valve.

[@coypatton3160]

chris debruyn that was my thoughts also. A 90 degree turn shut off the fuel. Also consider a fuel line shut off valve if you ever replace the fuel lines.

[@HoyeTractor]

The valves are 1/2 turn valves. 180 degrees. The handle straight down is open. The handle straight up is closed. www.hoyetractor.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/ffv.jpg

[@dogpatch8266]

clear plastic filter bowls are junk.

[@britneyengland7923]

If you would have loosened the small Phillips screw that's on top of the fuel shut off valve it will turn free. Also, you need to turn the lever a quarter turn, not 180.

[@HoyeTractor]

You are not correct on either suggestion. The valves are half-turn valves. 180 degrees. The handle straight down is open. The handle straight up is closed. See link below directly from Yanmar's manual. Loosening the screw will allow you to remove the handle but will not do anything to free the stuck valve inside. www.hoyetractor.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/ffv.jpg
