THIS WAS IN THE FUEL FILTER!!! YUCK!...WHAT IS IT?

What happens here

The host mentions draining the entire fuel tank to remove as much of the 'muck' as possible, even wiping the inside of the tank. To continuously filter remaining contaminants, he installs a small, transparent in-line fuel filter (similar to those used on lawnmowers) on the fuel line. This allows him to visually monitor the clarity of the fuel and the filter's condition. He also adds a fuel additive designed to break down the 'slime' in the fuel tank. He plans to change these small filters regularly until the fuel system is clean.

Goal: To combat the fuel contamination, the host completely drains the fuel tank, adds a fuel additive, and installs small, transparent in-line fuel filters for easy monitoring.

Tools and materials

  • Hose Clamps
  • Screwdriver (11-in-1 type)

clod maybe we will there we go like pretty darn good clean diesel to me it looks like clean brand-new diesel there's not a speck of trash in this anywhere now I don't know there's clearly some salami trash in this filter there's clearly a restrictive situation going on because it keeps starving for fuel now once I put the little filters on no more starving for fuel until I can see in this little eye right here that little eye when I see that getting dirty it starts starving for fuel again so let's change that guy I've got some brand new ones I went to the parts store and got some great old big ones we'll get that guy changed out and we'll throw this other tire on and we'll let it run for a little bit and see if we can kick out some more slime I'm just gonna keep running this tractor until it's right I don't want to sell it to somebody and not have it right I want to make it good and that way they don't think I'm a crook and they don't come back knocking on my door thinking they're you screwed me on the tractor I also don't want to depend on the fact that hopefully the person that buys the tractor is a mechanically minded person hopefully all this problem solves itself all right guys so we've got to get this big tire on in order to get this big tire on I can't pick it up on my own I can wrestle with it and hurt my back and that'd be really fun but I think we'll skip that and what we'll do I didn't know I didn't even have a socket big enough to fit in an impact but this is a 27 millimeter I've lowered the jack down this is the handle on the jack I've lowered it down to where I could get the first bolt started and then we've got the tire just about mounted up now what I'll do is I'll pump the jack just a little bit get that tire up off the ground and then we'll get it centered now I'm gonna do a lug pattern of crisscross when I tighten it it's a six lug pattern so I'll crisscross across it might not be necessary for a tractor but definitely necessary for a car let me show you so there's a little hub right here and when you're running lug studs you really have to line it up to sit up on that hub and then you see that wheel walking in that way there we go we'll get one time not real real tight at first you'll just start get a criss cross and now we can go on and tighten them nice and snug I know are you serious tractor guys would be thinking right now now you need to get the specs on that and tighten it down to the right specs with your with your torque wrench…
