Just a little tip. If you own a diesel tractor with a drain at the bottom of the filter housing, occasionally open it up and let a few drops out. I started my MF 245 this weekend for the first time since the fall. It started and ran great for a few minutes but started losing power and smoking, then eventually died. I could crank it and get it to run for a few seconds if I waited a few minutes between attempts.

Long story short, there was about a pint of water in the fuel system. I opened the drain below the filter and let it drip for 10-12 minutes before something that wasn't obviously plain water started dripping out. Not surprisingly it ran like a champ after that.

Jus something to think about if your tractor isn't running like you know it should.

Also if you fill before storeing,it helps keep the moisture down.I Power Service all my fuel also,I think it helps.
