My friend drove my Kubota X900 into a puddle and sucked water in the intake...but it kept running.
I saw water in the fuel filter and changed it. I also drained part of the fuel out of the full tank. There is no more water in the see-through filter bowl. I saw my oil was really high on dipstick and looked black and thin, so I changed oil and oil filter. I added a diesel additive to fuel. It starts just fine but blows white smoke and knocks. Once it warms up the idle is good but when I load it down driving it the white smoke starts again. I bled the fuel lines and it knocks pretty good while bleeding the lines but comes back to a nice idle when lines are tightened back down. do you think it steamed in the cylinder and blew my gasket? Is it ok to drive until i can get it repaired?
