[QUOTE="rancoon, post: 133111, member: 23434"] Hey All - I have a 2013 Bobcat T630 (2,260 hours) in North Texas, and after only 12 hours of run time (less than 2 weeks total time), I had to remove my fuel filter to access my lower oil tank elbow (was leaking), and thankfully discovered that the fuel filter had an insane amount of rust ... or algae growth in it... It’s not floating, so I initiallly thought it was rust... but not sure how it could be happening? My last fuel filter I pulled off of it 2 weeks ago didn’t have any of this in it - but it was however causing power loss to machine over 1,800 rpms, and having to really prime the hand pump to even start up. Any thoughts as to where this came from, and how to treat it? I’ve ordered all of Power Service’s diesel treatments (Kleen, Biocide, etc.)... hopefully will resolve any water I have in tank? Thanks so much for your time! [ATTACH type="full"]5730[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
