D6 N low fuel pressure

One guy construction ยท 2019-06-18 09:53

Been working my 2007 D6N this past weekend, when pushing under very hard load the low fuel pressure lite would come on. Push in decel pedal for 2-3 seconds lite goes out. Clogged fuel filter?? Have cat service coming tomorrow to check out and do a complete service on machine, hopefully no big issues.

    Have you ever drained the water and sediment from the fuel tank..? It's a regular (weekly) task according to the Manual.

    yes but I did get the last fill up out of the guys service truck where were digging the pond at. Im hoping that is the root cause

    If you suspect a dodgy load of fuel even more reason to take a look at the tank drain. Have you tried draining the tank since you filled up..?

    An expensive fill-up then..........add it to the customer's bill if he supplied the fuel. Did Cat drain the cr@p from the tank..?
