Kubota 1703

Did the tank on the Jensen chipper at work last year, there was a lot of crap in the tank, once it was off and cleaned we added a “stalk” so it didn’t suck right from the bottom of the tank. Also worth changing the run off pipe that goes back into the tank 👍

If it’s been parked for that long , that’s quite a bit of condensation plus Agri diesel doesn’t store well.

as others have said, flush tank , rinse and change filters to be on safe side

just had a full service and the tank flushed. Prior to me picking it up 2 days ago 

 

If all the above has been done, why would he want to do it again, but I have known dealer to say it's been serviced and not had a spanner put near it.

It's the elephant in the room. Can't trust no one nowadays.... 

 

Might be worth run the tank low and get a little camera in there for a look maybe?

It’s definitely been serviced, oil and filter is all new. It’s a 2016 machine for reference. It’s out tomorrow so I’ll see how I get on. As suggested I’ll let it run low on diesel and have a look in the tank, will get another inline filter and some fuel hose as change those and see where that gets me. I’ll report back when I know more, thanks for the help
