TD8-E Fuel System Problem Fixed

Believe it or not, my dozer doesn't have a lift pump. Dave, the owner of a rental company who has several Dressers, came out tonight to look at it. I borrowed a portable air compressor from my customer. Dave disconnected the fuel line at the filters and pushed air pressure back down the line to the tank. At the same time his son looked into the tank with a flashlight. AFter about 10 seconds we heard a pop then a gurgle. His son reported seeing a small rock pop out of the line. We presurized the tank, connected the line and started her up. She runs as sweet as ever! Tonight I'm a happy camper! Thanks to those of you who offered your suggestions. Dan
