hey guys just drove my yellow 1000 ute on the road for the 1st time and it didnt go so well :(

ive found my fuel filter is blocked up with brown crud and i cant seem to suck fuel through the line as it just vaccumes up. whats the best way to clean my tank out :(

compressed air.

yea i blew that back up the line but it blocked up again. im thinking blow air again and drain from the botom as its a ute with a plug :). im hoping all the #OOPS# will come out with it :/

Rust in ya tank... Get a tank treetment kit, I used one called "Kreem" worked a treat!

never heard of it. i will have a look

Hi Matto1kUte

Once I remember i had the same issue,what i did Gave a nice Air compressor into line (close one side and put the air compressor from the other side and open it keeping few seconds because of the high pressure inside it will clean nicely),and took my tank off put it in the lake washed nicely putting water for several times and brought it kept for hot sun for sometime and put some petrol inside and cleaned it final round,so still i dont have any issue with fuel system

thanks
regards

Have had the same problem, disonnect at fuel filter and at tank blow with air both directions than plug tank side (don't hook it back up). fill fuel line full of petrol let set for a short while and then blow through with air again. I personally wouldn't recommend putting water in the fuel tank, but while your line is still off put a little fuel in the tank and put a rag around your airline push all of this into the fuel filler and blow out with air (the fuel line should still be disconnected) repeat several times than reunite the fuel line with tank and install a new fuel filter and should be off and running. If the line plugs up again you will need a major fuel tank service, which involves removing the tank.

sounds good. will have a go tomorrow
