I had water in fuel indicator on multiple times yesterday. Draining the fuel filter/separator (as shown here) had resolved earlier issues (our donkeys seem to have a fixation with working the fuel cap off by scratching - and always just before it rains), but this time it would only work for a short while or not at all - and there was no water visible in the fuel from the filter. I finally decided the sender unit must be bad, so replaced it (Ag-Central Co-op had one in stock, fortunately). Seems to have completely solved the problem. I would not have thought such a simple sensor would fail, but if they didn’t fail I guess the Co-op wouldn’t stock them). Oh, and the donkeys? Foiled a couple of years ago by switching to a locking fuel cap…
good job, but im surprised it started to be honest. usually you have to pump unit solid fuel comes out, then on mine you have to do each injected also.
Hey Gal, shur liked the "CPR on the tractor" comment. As for myself l thought l had the "energy crisses" solved 3 times in my life----yes was TRYING to Burn Water. That pesky water seems like it "hunts" diesel fuel. I like the dyed off-road fuel when l can get it, it immediately shows the separation line between the two fluids. Thanks for the great Video & happy safe tractoring .
Maybe next time: 1. Disconnect the wire. 2. Completely remove the filter from the tractor. 3. Dump the contents of the filter into a jar like you did. 4. Refill the filter with fresh diesel almost all the way to the top. 5. Re-screw the filter back onto the tractor. 6. Reconnect the wires. 7. Then use the manual pump to fill the filter the rest of the way. It shouldn’t take too many pumps to do this.
Good for you, next time you are over his way , Maybe swing by with a half dozen donuts at some cookies or even a handshake to show your appreciation. You might just make his day like he made yours
Hey there, when your tractor threw the light on, would it still start?? And if not did it at least turn over?? Or was she dead in the water when you turned the key??
Should atleast turn over, every time I’ve gotten the water in fuel light, it still turns on and runs, at most it’ll get put in limp mode, Atleast on the 4510.

@@Dylan-yg4hgthanks for posting lol mine has the light on and I just drove it home and it was at half speed. Glad it’s just that it’s in limp mode. I’m flushing out the whole system and changing all the filters.
Good video, hopefully very similar to my NS. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, RX models are the same just had to do mine and your video made it simple!!!
Glad to help!
I forgot to mention I also put Sea Foam in the fuel tank before using the tractor again. =)
