    Komatsu pc300lc-6 should have the s6d114e-2 which is emissionized 505 cummins... The was a parts and service update for the in-line filter replacement against the fire wall in front of control valve the is a serviceable screen the can be cleaned.. That is the replacement in-line filter...a lot of people do not even know it is there....just sayin.....

    I've also seen those filters mounted next to the counterweight. They look like a regular gas filter that you buy at Napa. I've had to pull a couple of dozen out because of that. The auto parts filter is a paper filter. When water hits it the paper swells shut and the fuel can't get through. The original unit has a brass strainer in it. You can blow backwards through it with air pressure and it will clear. There was also a lot of trouble on those machines with the compensator valves. I don't remember exactly what was going on but the local dealer sent out their wrenches with a set in the trucks all the time. It was expensive and wasn't always the problem. Lots of contractors went to other makes after that mess.

    Sounds like a torque/ pump control issue, when the engine stalls is it blowing black smoke? if it is there is no shortage of fuel, thus it wont be the filters.
