I'm frustrated because I've exhausted all options and my fuel supply is dwindling. Despite reluctantly rechecking all fuel lines, the fuel filters remain only half full. To keep the engine running, the injectors need to be bled periodically, but it frustratingly stalls after just five minutes. This troubleshooting process has reached a standstill, leaving me feeling stuck.
Can you provide more details about the issue? Is the problem with the machine not shutting off, leading you to disconnect the fuel line? As a result, fuel leaks out of the line while it's disconnected, gradually depleting your tank. Do you then have to reattach the line and bleed it before restarting the machine? Is this the issue you are facing with your forklift, not a wheel loader? Please specify the exact problem with your machine.
Have you inspected the pickup tube for any issues?
Answer: 1. Q: Why are the fuel filters only half full despite checking all fuel lines? The fuel filters may only be half full due to air pockets in the fuel lines or clogged filters causing restricted fuel flow.
Answer: The injectors need to be bled periodically to remove any air trapped in the fuel system, which can disrupt the fuel supply and cause the engine to stall.
Answer: The engine may be stalling after five minutes due to insufficient fuel reaching the engine, possibly caused by a fuel pump issue or further fuel line blockages.
Answer: Additional steps that can be taken include checking the fuel pump, inspecting for any leaks in the fuel system, testing the fuel pressure, and ensuring proper fuel quality.
