Hello, I have searched this forum with no luck for my problem. I have a 2013 Bobcat T770 with the Kubota diesel engine. Last weekend it was running great and then just died like it was out of fuel. The fuel gauge doesn't work so I thought it could be out of fuel. it would only hold 4 gallons so that wasn't the issue. I replaced the fuel/water separator and flushed the lines. It wont start. I replaced the primer bulb and even added a 12V fuel pump thinking it wasn't getting enough fuel. I have cracked open each injector and I have fuel coming out when you turn it over but still wont start. I have replaced the inner and outer air filters. I did notice when you turn the key on you here what sounds like a pump that comes on for about 15 seconds then shuts off. when it shuts off the low fuel light comes on and i get an error of M0909 fuel level too low, but the tank is full and I have pumped about 5 gallons of diesel through the lines so I feel like they are primed again. any help would be appreciated.
 
where abouts are you from? did it over heat at some point ? like maybe the compression in the pistons is bad? how sure are you that theres fuel at the injectors?

Are you getting smoke when cranking?
What happens if you get someone to spin the motor over and you give the air filter a quick shot of ether, see if you get it to pop.
If you have compression, the ether should detonate, it won't sound great, but if it does, you have compression and fuel delivery could be the issue.
It's not as simple as a bad fuel shut off solenoid is it?
