    Ran 580M out of fuel

    Haha. When you’re always working by yourself you’ve got to McGyver a lot of things. I’m still an idiot when it comes to diesel fixes.

    Ran 580M out of fuel

    It’s ALIVE. Thank you so much everyone. I got one fuel line off at the injector - cranked it, fuel came out. Still no go. Took a second line off; cranked it and fuel came out. After that I got black smoke and it fired up. My wife will be forever grateful. She’s able to get her car out of the...

    Ran 580M out of fuel

    Update: I couldn’t find an inner tube I swore I had so used an air compressor with a duster, ice cream lid and a rubber tool chest drawer liner for a seal. I forced air into the fuel tank and it forced fuel out of the bleed screw hole. Closed the screw but no go and the battery was run down...

    Ran 580M out of fuel

    Thanks. I’m still feeling pretty ignorant all the same. Is the fuel water separator and the fuel filter the same thing? There is a screw on top of the separator and a plastic threaded cap on the bottom.

    Ran 580M out of fuel

    Please excuse what is likely a stupid question from someone that should likely know better. Despite owning a 2006 Case 580 Super M Series 2 for 6 years I’m still a complete idiot when it comes to mechanical fixes. So with that admission out of the way…… I had the 580 parked nose down on a...
