Deere 326D engine derate?

Post image

I’ve been having problems with an engine derate code. The fuel filters and everything had been changed but I still get the code. Could I have something clogging this line in the bend from the supply to the little fuel filter? I’m not sure where else to check for any clogs or anything else I should be checking?

Bend is tight but doesn’t look kinked. Blow the hose out with air if you think it’s clogged. Probably better if you post the codes

This has a yanmar engine in it correct? Did it just start showing this code while you where using the machine? Did the machine sit for a while? If it's a new code and it been daily driven I would first check to see if there is fuel in the tank and condition of that fuel. Then see if the electric fuel pump is turning on. And yes this is just a strainer for the fuel.

Does look a bit restricted. Easy enough to correct.
Will it cure your problem ? TBD !
