Yes it was. I also heard a grinding noise but went away. I shut it off and then noticed the odd sound at low rpm.
Yep I think your right. I forwarded the videos to the dealer to show a tech. So they can hear what its doing and pick it up.
oh the joys of HPCR......... sounds like water, Gas, or some other major problem with the fuel system. that engine should run smoother than a singer sewing machine with little to no fuel knock.Yep huge issues going on there, that sounds terrible to say the least!
No more running it, and yea if the ring in the separator was floating then it's got water in it.
LOL I agree. Sounds like an old beater. I bet the fuel supply at the dealership may have been compromised with water after a recent storm before my delivery. They saw the video and said they are going to take a look at the fuel system. Hope its not ruined.
when Cat came out with the 299DXHP track loader it had a C3.3/Kubota V3003 in the back. Cat decided it would be a good idea to use a cap just like the fuel cap and both in locations that get nasty. needless to say hyd oil in the fuel doesnt end well, high pressure fuel pump usually cracks. couldnt tell you how many pumps and injectors we replaced. the joke was "299D, death by fuel or fire".
Water in fuel is grounds for a warranty denial. The only thing the OP has going for him is "Dealer supplied fuel."
Yep. Good thing I didn't top it off! It's red dyed and I usually put fuel from the local pump that's highway as I have to drive a while to find a pump with off road.
