Hi guys....My first post. I have a 2003 Case 33D tractor. I bought it used about 3 years ago. It only has about 600 hrs on it and it has never given me any problems. We had a lot of snow this week in the KC area, so I was moving some snow with the tractor over the last few days. All went well the first few runs, but my boy got stuck in the drive way, so I thought I would hit it one more time. The Case started right up as usual, ran it about 100 yards and it acted like it was running out of gas and stopped with a puff of blue smoke. It wouldn't start after that. It tried a few times, but just wouldn't start up. Fuel was my first thought, but there was plenty. Then I checked the oil and all was fine. Then I took a look at the fuel filter bowl and it looked pretty nasty. I opened it up and it looked like there was some water in there as well as some crud in the bottom of the bowl, plus the filer looked pretty bad, so I think I found my problem. My question is, where is the best place to bleed the bad gas, at the injectors or the pump and should I clean the injectors or use a additive? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.....Chris
