glad to hear that! nobody wants probs with their diesel tractors. no doubt i speak for all!
I was going to inquire as to if you would let us know. for 'a while' is of course the issue. 1 oz H20...well, I looked up your tractor model, says 40 hp. nice med sized Compact. (medium sized diesel tractors start at about 92 hp!) light duty useage and no doubt you are injecting only diesel. 1 oz in 10 - 15 gallons pretty small amount. as one mentioned, real deal is how she runs... performs at PTO speeds. unless you tell us otherwise, I would assume your filtration system would keep the H20 out of your engine's fuel system before it hits the injector pump. I have never run across anyone that got some H20 into their onboard diesel fuel supply. a 40 hp tractor is a substantial piece of equipment... well designed as a rule. I, for one, hope you will let us know more? think I will search online to further learn more about this kinda of problem.

When I say "a while" I mean probably about an hour, not hard work just moving some firewood on pallets with the forks. I let it idle while I load the pallets mostly to get the engine up to operating temps rather than a bunch of start and stops.
Thank you for your concern and help. Having never owned a piece of equipment before I am pretty cautious.

On a note, this uls is garbage. I'd consider a dash of optilube or something on every fuel up.
Any lubricity. My vw dpf cracked, so I deleted it, now I run triple the lubricity...
But that's because this cp4 pump is junk and I'm trying to prolong it. But that's a whole other story....
