Useful for MX6000 owners dealing with a bogging engine after a bad fuel fill.
Posted by an owner-operator (Kentucky Land Man channel) sharing a hands-on fix from personal trial and error, not a dealer or technician.
Check the water separator, drain it, cycle out the bad diesel for new fuel, change the fuel filter, then bleed the fuel lines by removing a 10mm bolt until diesel runs steady.
Remove the 10mm bolt on the fuel line, crank the engine until air stops coming out and diesel runs in a steady stream, then put the bolt back on.
The engine bogs down after a fresh diesel fill, and checking the water separator shows the water level up higher than it should be.
