Good evening from South Carolina. I just got myself a nice old Deutz 40 06 tractor and after running it for a while I experienced some pretty serious fuel starvation (engine suddenly had no power, barely ran). I worked my way through the fuel system and discovered basically a bunch of crud in the bottom of the (diesel) fuel tank blocking the fuel outlet. I drained the tank and sucked all the loose chunkage out with a shop vac (dumb, I know. But it worked!) and changed the fuel filter. I didn't see any kind of sediment screen in the lift pump, but I might not know what I'm looking for or exactly where to look. The filler opening on that tank is pretty big, so I was able to reach my hand in there and feel around for any more junk, and way in the back there is a good amount of crusty garbage stuck to the bottom of the tank. I scraped off as much as I could with a paint stirrer and sucked it out, but there's still a little bit back there. I wanted to know what you guys think about adding a glass sediment bowl between the tank and the lift pump to help me keep an eye on the condition of the fuel, especially as the last of that mess finishes dissolving (Actually, will it dissolve? I put some diesel clean in the tank, and I'm considering adding a little bit of automatic transmission fluid as well.) I've never owned anything with a diesel engine before, would a sediment bowl be any help? Thanks!
