Funny you should ask. I posted almost the same question about
2 weeks ago. Out cat 307 excavator had "algae" plugging a
filter. It is not really algae from what I have learned on this
site but microorganisms. I replaced the fuel filter and cleaned
the screen filter on the transfer pump. We added star tron
enzyme fuel treatment. As I figured as people here told me it
will keep plugging filters. That is a 100 percent true
statement. We never drained the tank and cleaned it like was
suggested here. I wanted to but dad is stubborn on some things
and wouldn't drain the tank. Guess he figured the magic in a
bottle would solve everything. It didn't ! I just got a call
from him not even an hour ago saying the machine quit again. He
asked how I got the small screen on the pump apart so he could
clean it. I told him and told him he needed to drain the tank.
I got the yea, yea from him. I am going to the farm tomorrow
and draining, flushing the tank and lines ! He just won't
listen. As far as I know that is the only way to be rid of the
problem. Drain, flush, and blow out lines and install new
filters. Otherwise you will probably be fighting this problem
for a long long time. One other thing is I know our bulk tank
is ok because we only have issues with this machine which we
have had for 2 years and never used much. Our tractors and
other pieces are fine. Don't know how how you are fueling but
you might want to look into that also to make sure your not
getting a bunch of water in your fuel. Hope this helps !

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
