8011 diesel troubles.

Hi all ,

My 8011 has a bit of a problem & I was wondering if anyone can shed a little light on a fix for it.

If left overnight , when you try to start it , it seems that the diesel has run back towards the tank. The tractor will start, but it splutters for about 5 - 10 seconds & then clears itself.

It will start fine all day after this.

If you give the hand primer a few pumps in the morning before you attempt to start it, it will start perfectly.

As the fuel tank is above the injector pump, I would have thought it wouldn't draw air ?

Anyone come across this before ?

Thanks in advance.

clogged filters, dirt in the tank, a leak in the injector return line ?
