IH784 Fuel Tank

[Anonymous-0]

My IH784 will occasionally cut out on me because it is not getting diesel fuel. I disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filters and get no or very little flow. If I blow some air back thru the fuel line flow resumes (for about 5 hours of run time) and the n the problem returns, so I must have a significant amount of sediment in my fuel tank. Is the fix for this problem as simple as disconnecting the fuel line from the drain petcock at the bottom of the tank, unscrewing the petcock, and flushing the tank out?

That is the trick Shale. chase the blockage back to the source, blowing it back only prolongs the problem, taking it apart getting junk out and then the problem is GONE

I assume it is a metal tank. My problem didn't go away with cleaning the tank. Just made it last a couple of weeks. Had to have it Red Koted. So far so good. Lots of work and $80 later but better than a new injection pump.

MF2944, yes it is a metal tank and can you tell me what is Red-Koted and how is it done?
