    LMTV A0 cat 3116 loss of power

    Pretty sure it is the same primer. The only issue these usually have is the bypass flapper gets fouled and wont seal Enough to pull vacuum and lift fuel… it is easy enough to check and clean. I have a couple other fuel system videos on my utube channel…

    LMTV A0 cat 3116 loss of power

    Yea that brings up a point, if you had it in your primary filter and it was running rough, it obviously filled the secondary filter enough to reach the gallery. that could explain the dirty exhaust when you revved it up And pulled more fuel(and coolant) thru the second filter… the very least...

    Yes, antifreeze/coolant is not fuel, so you need to drain the tank and get the coolant out. water in diesels has a nasty habit of damaging components in the fuel system, even to the point of blowing the injector tips off when it flashes to steam in the hot injector nozzle/tip… hope this is not...
