Fuel problem on an FE35

I have a FE35 with a 4cyl Standard Diesel engine. The first time I had this problem after a couple of hours of slashing it started to lose power and then revs picked up and I continued see-sawing until the revs kept dropping and it stopped. Each subsequent outing with the tractor had the machine losing power and stopping without the see-sawing.

Each time I bled the injectors after leaving it for an hour or so and it started. This time I thought I would try to start it without bleeding the injectors. Its still in the paddock!!!

I cleaned out the sediment bowl and cleaned the gauze (could not see through it!).

I have two questions. 1). when refilling the sediment bowl the fuel was just dripping from the tank into the bowl, it too nigh on fifteen minutes to fill the bowl - is this right?

2). my thought is that the injector pump is being starved of diesel so it is sucking in air from somewhere - hence the need to bleed. But I'm open to suggestions.

You may or may not have a blockage problem in the tank. The sediment bowl will not fill on it's own without using the primer on the primary fuel pump because there is no place for the air to go. With a gasoline engine the bowl will fill right away since the carburetor is not sealed. In the diesel system, the fuel needs somewhere to go so open the bleeders and pump the fuel through the bowl and to the injection pump. To see if the tank is flowing properly, remove the output fuel line from the bowl and then turn on the fuel. If the fuel does not flow freely then you have a clogged line or tank.

Bob, I had the bowl loose so that the fuel flow I was watching was that of the output of the tank with no restrictions.

I figured that if I put my blow pipe on the sediment bowl input , open the valve and blow like crazy, it could be a quick fix.

Proper fix would be to remove the tank and incorporate a filler filter so that the rubbish does not get into the tank.

Prior to me emptying and cleaning the bowl it was full of grass clippings which invariably get into the tank. I don't understand why I clogged up now, maybe its because we are getting into the bushfire season over here (Australia) - Murphy's law #203

Sounds like you answered your own question get the tank cleaned out even if you have to take it to the radiator shop and get it boiled something is blocking the fuel flow it should only take a few seconds to fill a sediment bowl unless there is an air blockage the sediment bowl can be tightened too tightly causing the fuel to fill in very slowly, also check the air filter for blockage mice or other critters like them for homes
