I have a 2005 Cat D4G with the Mitsubishi Engine. Have removed the Fuel Tank a few years ago to have it cleaned and lined because of rust problems. Use to have all kinds of problems keeping it running until I did that. The symptom before I had the tank cleaned was it seamed to get air starting in the fuel seperator in the rear and then air would get into the secondary filter. Figured it was sediment in the tank from being rusty. Anyways for two years after cleaning the tank no problems. Then recently it started again. Checked for the obviousl, changed filters and still happens. I have drained the tank and looked inside. Liner material is still intact. Cannot find anything in there that could be floating around inside the tank to block the intake line and possibly cutting off fuel flow. Like I said no problems for two years until recently.
What could possibly be the causes of air in the water seperator filter and the secondary. It is so bad when it happens that when you unscrew the blead screw on the secondary you can hear it the vacum lock.
