Bobcat E14 Mini digger with fuel issues

[Anygmatic]

Hi,

I have a 2012 Bobcat E14 mini digger with a Kubota engine. I am having fuel starvation issues - sometimes on idle, but more noticeable under load. Done the obvious (cleaned fuel, new filter etc) but still no better. I've had the issue for over a year, but it's slowly getting worse - and the machine only gets fairly light domestic use.

Digging around, it seems like the fuel sender unit could be at fault (as I also have an inaccurate fuel gauge which seems to be linked with sender unit problems so could be a double-whammy). On consideration, I'd probably be better off trying this rather than a new injector unit etc (£££).

Has anyone had any experience of this, and any info on the sender unit replacement? Seems like youtube/the internet doesn't have content on this specifically, which is unusual.

Thanks.

Check all the 90deg bends on filter housings, does it run better full tank?

check for gauze filters in any banjo unions in the fuel lines
